Thank you for your interest in the CY8CKIT-042-BLE Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) Pioneer Kit. This
kit is designed to showcase the functionality and ease of use of PSoC® 4 BLE and PRoC™ BLE
devices while developing Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart) applications. Cypress's BLE solution
provides an easy-to-use, intuitive GUI to configure the BLE protocol stack using a BLE component
available in the Cypress standard integrated development environment (IDE), PSoC Creator.
The CySmart PC tool allows emulation of a central device and quick access to peripheral connections
and debugging. The solution provides a true single-chip solution with an integrated balun,
Cypress's industry-leading capacitive sensing technology, an analog front end (AFE) for biometric
sensors, and digital peripherals suited to a wide variety of applications. Designed for flexibility, this kit
offers footprint compatibility with several third-party Arduino™ shields. The kit includes a provision to
populate an extra header to support Digilent® Pmod™ peripheral modules. In addition, the board
features a CapSense® slider, an RGB LED, a push-button switch, an integrated USB programmer, a
program and debug header, an F-RAM, and USB-UART/I2C bridges.
