Infineon Pioneer PSoC Development Board CY8CKIT-042

The CY8CKIT-042 PSoC 4 Pioneer development kit is an easy-to-use cost-effective platform that will enable you to create and design with ease. The development kit has been designed to allow for maximum design flexibility enabling Arduino shields hardware compatibility and easy to use, FCC-certified PSoC 4 BLE and PRoC BLE modules. The development platform allows you to easily develop embedded solutions that require both mixed-signal capabilities and a Bluetooth LE radio.

PSoC Creator™ software runs on a PC so you can design your system, write application firmware, download code to the PSoC and step-through it using the built-in debugger.
