INFINEON CY8CKIT-024 Capsense Proximity Shield, For Cypress PSOC Pioneer Development Boards

CY8CKIT-024 is a CapSense� proximity shield kit which is an Arduino compatible evaluation platform for CapSense� based proximity sensing solutions. The CY8CKIT-024 enables to evaluate proximity sensing capabilities of Cypress's industry leading CapSense� solutions. Designed to work with Cypress PSoC Pioneer kits, can evaluate advanced proximity sensing features including liquid tolerance, wake-on-approach and gesture detection using 5 proximity loops on the CY8CKIT-024. The PSoC 4 is Cypress's newest ARM-based PSoC, featuring the low power Cortex-M0 core combined with PSoC's unique programmable mixed signal hardware IP, resulting in industry's most flexible and scalable low power mixed signal architecture. The CY8CKIT-024 is designed to work with the Cypress PSoC Pioneer kits allowing to prototype advanced systems which feature proximity sensing capabilities (for e.g. a motor control system which is controlled by gestures).

• 1 proximity loop for large proximity-sensing distance (~10cm)
• 4 proximity sensors for horizontal and vertical gesture detection
• Driven shield for large proximity-sensing distance/liquid tolerance
• 1 slide switch to evaluate performance difference between ground and driven shield
• 6 blue colour LEDs
• Arduino� compatible headers
• Support for 3D gestures
• Supported kits CY8CKIT-040 and CY8CKIT-042
