        Electronic and/or software "assignement" ? Do you know if the connection used is SPI/I2C.

 It's both electronic  and software  assignment..

   

My project  details are wireless  3d accelerometer adxl345  using psoc5 .

Sorry, but I'm a little bit confused. Do you have a block diagram with few lines of description to help understanding how the mentioned components (wixelpair, adxl345, psoc) interconnects ?

What you should do:

   
        
  • have a look at the PSoC video library: http://video.cypress.com/video-library/video/PSoC
  •     
  • look at the data sheet of the SPI and / or I2C components
  •     
  • read the ADXL345 data sheet to understand how it works
  •     
  • the try to connect the ADXL to the PSoC - maybe first just start to get simple readings before proceeding to more complicated tasks

 Wireless transmit  3D  accelerometer ( AXDL 345 ) information to determine the earthquake magnitude and the direction of the force 

   

Use USB Wixel pair to transmit the data to the Host Computer and graph it in real-time 

   

Use Python or C 

   

This is my project assignment

Regarding the wixel - its probably this one here: https://www.pololu.com/product/1336

   

Looks like you should use it as serial bridge, so you can use the UART component on the UART side, and a simple serial port on the PC side.

   

So add the UART component to my task list above. Maybe get started by getting the wireless bridge working first, you you can use a simple serial terminal program (e.g. tera term) on the PC side to see debug output from the PSoC.

   

If you get that working, start working with the ADXL345. Try to set it up via SPI and read some data from it, which you then can print to the serial port.

If you are completely new to PSoC, maybe you should start with looking at the Creator 101 series: http://video.cypress.com/video-library/video/PSoC-Software_PSoC-Creator-Training

   

It will give you an overview and a first introduction. After it you should be able to do your first experiments and projects.

   

This forum is intebnded to help with actual and concrete problem regarding PSoC. Giving complete introductions os solving complete projects is beyond its scope (and we should not do your homework anyway...).

   

So please look at the introductions, install PSoC Creator and go through its tutorials and its demo projects. If you have specific questions, don't hesitate to ask, there will always be someone trying to help you.

VERY helpfull would be to get hands on a PSoC 5 Development Kit as this here secure.cypress.com/. It allows you testing your installation, debugging and programming the PSoC device with just an USB-connection to your windows-PC or laptop.

"Wireless transmit  3D  accelerometer ( AXDL 345 ) information" This does not state to use a PSoC5 or a "Wixel". If there is a choice for changes you may use BlueTooth LE (BLE) which would reduce your project to a 1-chip solution. There is a Prototype Kit for BLE, see here secure.cypress.com/. Your AXDL345 would interface to a PSoC4 which is the core of the BLE. The PSoC4 BLE is brand new, so it might be the case that your contractee did not hear about that chip yet. There are no dramatic differences in programming a PSoC 4 compared to a PSoC5, both are done in C-language using a comforable IDE named "Creator" that you can download for free here secure.cypress.com/psoccreator/.

   

 

   

Happy coding

Incidentially I'm currently working on an application involving the PSoC4 BLE and an ADXL375 accelerometer. I'm still waiting for the ADXL375 kit to arrive, but over the course of February I should have some results...

   

(No, I'm no doing earthquake detection...)

@navya2227 after few investigation, if you use a Wixel you should request some help to another community... The component at the heart of the Wixel is a competitor of PSOC 4 BLE .

The tri copter uses the same accelerometer, that would be a code base

   

to look at. Also there are other accel projects in table below.
