Hello PSoC MCU Developers!

I'm pleased to announce the release of a brand new PSoC 6 kit, the PSoC 6 WiFi-BT Pioneer Kit CY8CKIT-062-WiFi-BT.

The PSoC® 6 WiFi-BT Pioneer Kit (CY8CKIT-062-WiFi-BT) is a low-cost hardware platform that enables design and prototyping of the PSoC 62 MCU and the Murata LBEE5KL1DX Module (CYW4343W WiFi + Bluetooth Combo Chip).. The kit includes the CY8C6247 device, a Murata LBEE5KL1DX Module (WiFi/BT combo chip on-board) 512-Mb Quad-SPI NOR flash, on-board programmer/debugger (Kitprog2), EZ-PD™ CCG3 Type-C MCU, CapSense touch slider, buttons, and proximity sensor, and is Arduino Uno compatible. It also comes with a TFT Display shield board (CY8CKIT-028-TFT) with on-board PDM-PCM microphone, motion sensor, light sensor, and audio jack. The TFT Display shield board will be orderable separately from the kit as well.

With this kit, you can develop standalone PSoC 6 MCU designs, or you can create PSoC 6 + WiFi designs. For standalone PSoC 6 MCU designs, PSoC Creator is the recommended design environment. For PSoC 6 + WiFi designs, WICED Studios 6.1 is the recommended design environment.

Feel free to leave your comments, questions or feedback, we appreciate it!

Is that the same WiFi+BT chip that's on the new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+?

Hi Eric

The 062 kit has a CYW4343W which is an almost identical chip to the CYW43438 which is on the Pi Zero W and the original Pi3.

The Pi3 B+ has a CYW43455 chip.

The main difference is the CYW43455 supports 802.11ac and 2.4/5GHz whereas the CYW43438/W is 802.11n 2.4GHz only.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

Graham
