First question asked Welcome!

Hello there!

I tried getting used to PSoC by doing the 101 video tutorial. 

As soon as i hit TCPWM blocks i encountered a problem: I can't seem to be able to use the clock block. Whenever I add it to my design, I get the error message "Clock "X" specifies a GLOBAL clock. Max of 0 Digital global clocks already used up."
In the video it worked just fine and i doubt my kit is unable to use something as basic as a clock, so I'm hoping you guys can give me some advice.

Cheers!

Hi @Steffen ,

Can you please tell the reason you are using UDB based timer block in your project? The PSoC 4100S device doesn't support UDB based components. Are you following this particular lecture video to learn about timers : https://www.cypress.com/video-library/PSoC/psoc-101-lesson-9-timer/387681 ?

Please try using fixed function timer block in your project and check with the results. Also, let us know in case of further clarifications.

Best Regards,

Aashita
