Hello.

   

This is funny, I am writing about automatic pin assignments and another developer is asking about manual pin assignments.

   

In one of the videos from Cypress I thought I caught something about allowing PSoC Creator to automatically select pin assignments because it will pick the pins best suited for optimum performance.

   

I do not recall the video or how to get back to it.  But even more importantly, if this is correct, how do I instruct PSoC Creator to "auto-route" the pins?

   

And as the other post mentions I am not talking about specific functions but things such a LCDs, Push-Buttons, LEDs, etc.

   

 

   

 

   

Thank You,

   

Doug

Thanks for the reply.

   

 

   

Guess what I just found?  I just read this in the PSoC Creator v 3.3 Release Notes :

   
    

Guided Pin Selection
This feature helps the user make optimal decisions when choosing physical pins in the Pins DWR editor for PSoC 4 devices. Ideal selections are highlighted in green while legal, but resource-consuming, options in yellow.

   
   

 

   

I remember seeing this happed (the GREEN pins) also when using the DWR editor for my PSoC 5LP.

   

 

   

Thanks,

   

Doug

The best way I know is using pins as Bus and checking the option Contigous, PSoC will try to route the pins one after other; for example one bus of output pins for 7 switches, creator will arrange pins from P1.1 to P.7
