Connecting the Shield Adapter Kit to the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit
To use the PSoC Shield Adapter Kit, you need to connect the shield to the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit. The
PSoC Shield Adapter Kit is designed to be connected to the entire header network on the PSoC 4
Pioneer Kit. You can key the headers and insert the shield into the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit.

After the PSoC Shield Adapter is connected to the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit, you can develop custom
applications, plug in new Arduino shields, or connect one of the Cypress EBKs to the shield's EBK
adapter.

Loading the First PSoC Shield Adapter Project
Available on the PSoC Shield Adapter Kit web page is an example project for the PSoC 4 Pioneer
Kit. This example project can be programmed onto the PSoC 4 device to blink an LED on the PSoC
Shield Adapter board. To verify this project, do the following:
1. Download and install the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit Installer, as described in the
.
2. Download the example project from the kit web page at
www.cypress.com/go/CY8CKIT-019
3. Unzip the example project to the desired location.
4. Connect the USB cable from the PC to the CY8CKIT-042 PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit.
5. Connect a jumper wire from the PSoC Shield Adapter prototyping header (LED1) on J9 to P0.4
(on J4), as shown in
.
