 Kit Operation

3.1 Connecting the Shield Adapter Kit to the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit
To use the PSoC Shield Adapter Kit, you need to connect the shield to the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit. The
PSoC Shield Adapter Kit is designed to be connected to the entire header network on the PSoC 4
Pioneer Kit. You can key the headers and insert the shield into the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit.
Figure 3-2. CY8CKIT-019 Shield Adapter Kit Connected to CY8CKIT-042 PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit

After the PSoC Shield Adapter is connected to the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit, you can develop custom
applications, plug in new Arduino shields, or connect one of the Cypress EBKs to the shield's EBK
adapter.

3.2 Loading the First PSoC Shield Adapter Project

Available on the PSoC Shield Adapter Kit web page is an example project for the PSoC 4 Pioneer
Kit. This example project can be programmed onto the PSoC 4 device to blink an LED on the PSoC
Shield Adapter board. To verify this project, do the following:
1. Download and install the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit Installer, as described in the Software Installation on
page 6.
2. Download the example project from the kit web page at www.cypress.com/go/CY8CKIT-019.
3. Unzip the example project to the desired location.
4. Connect the USB cable from the PC to the CY8CKIT-042 PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit.
5. Connect a jumper wire from the PSoC Shield Adapter prototyping header (LED1) on J9 to P0.4
(on J4), as shown in Figure 3-3.

CY8CKIT-019 PSoC Shield Adapter Kit Guide, Doc. #: 001-90332 Rev. ** 15

 Hardware

The PSoC Shield Adapter board primarily provides header support for the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kits and
their connection to Cypress Expansion Board Kits (EBKs). The PSoC Shield Adapter Kit supports
connecting Arduino compatible shields and Cypress EBK development kits.
The kit supports onboard functionality for development and evaluation of PSoC 4-based designs.
The PSoC Shield Adapter board incorporates LEDs, push buttons, a potentiometer, and a thermis-
tor. These features can be connected to the prototyping connector on the Shield Adapter Kit.
The PSoC Shield Adapter Kit supports four user LEDs and a power LED. The user LEDs can be
connected to the prototyping connector. It also supports a reset push button for resetting the PSoC 4
device on the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit.
The PSoC 5LP header is not connected to any header or component on the Shield Adapter Kit - it
only connects to the PSoC 5LP, which is included on the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit. You can connect
jumper wires from the PSoC 5LP header to various headers to expand functionality and to communi-
cate to the PSoC 5LP.

4.3 Functional Description

4.3.1 PSoC 4
The PSoC Shield Adapter Kit is used with the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit, which supports the PSoC 4200
family of devices. These devices combine a microcontroller with programmable logic, high-perfor-
mance analog-to-digital conversion, two opamps with Comparator mode, and commonly used fixed-
function peripherals. For more information, refer to the PSoC 4 web page and the PSoC 4200 Family
Datasheet.

4.3.2 Power Supply System

The PSoC Shield Adapter board is powered using the base PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit power configura-
tions. The power supply system (Figure 4-2) on the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit is versatile, allowing the
board to be powered from the following sources:
■ 5 V from onboard USB programming header J10
■ 5 V to 12 V from VIN on the Arduino header J1_01 and J11
■ 3.3 V from the Arduino header J1_05
■ VTARG - power from the onboard 10-pin programming headers J6 or J7 via an external program-
mer such as the MiniProg3

The PSoC Shield Adapter Kit includes a single 2x20 pin adapter header, which is compatible with the
EBKs. This header supports connecting a Cypress EBKs to the PSoC Shield Adapter board and
then interfacing the EBK to the PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit.
The PSoC Shield Adapter board supports the CY8CKIT-025, CY8CKIT-031, and CY8CKIT-036
EBKs. Figure 4-7 details the pinout selections of the 40-pin header.

The PSoC Shield Adapter Kit enables you to connect the CY8CKIT-025, CY8CKIT-031, and
CY8CKIT-036 EBKs. When connecting the EBK boards to the PSoC Shield Adapter, you need to
ensure the proper jumper selections. The PSoC Shield Adapter board contains three jumpers that
when arranged in a specified configuration enables support for the respective EBK. Figure 4-8 pro-
vides details on the possible configurations. You can refer to the onboard silkscreen for the correct
jumper configuration. By default, the PSoC Shield Adapter enables the CY8CKIT-036 EBK selection.

4.3.6 Prototyping Connector (J9)

The PSoC Shield Adapter board supports a number of onboard features. These features are not by
default connected to any of the Arduino compatible headers or the 2×20 pin adapter header. All
onboard functionality is connected through the J9 prototyping header (Figure 4-9), which is located
in the center of the PSoC Shield Adapter board. You need to connect jumper wires from the J9
header to enable any of the onboard functionality such as the LEDs, switches, potentiometer, and
thermistor.
Figure 4-9. J9 Prototyping Connector

4.3.7 Push Buttons

The kit has three push buttons: two user buttons and one reset button. The two user push buttons
(Figure 4-10) are available via the J9 prototyping connector. They are active pull-down buttons. To
use these two buttons, you need to make a connection between J9 and the target input pin.

4.3.9 10K-Ohm Rotary Potentiometer

The PSoC Shield Adapter board includes a 10K-ohm rotary potentiometer (Figure 4-13) to provide
manual variable voltage values. This potentiometer is labeled R1. The potentiometer connection is
available on the J9 prototyping connector, so you need to wire your design to that connector to read
the voltage that is output from the potentiometer. The potentiometer receives its power via J11 and
will not draw any current if J11 is not connected. This is important if current measurement is needed
on the PSoC 4.

4.3.10 Thermistor
The PSoC Shield Adapter Kit supports an onboard thermistor (Figure 4-14) for measuring ambient
board temperature. The thermistor used on this kit is the NCP18XH103F03RB (NTC) device, which
has a 1 percent tolerance (10K ±1 percent) at 25 °C. The resistance of the thermistor changes with
temperature in a nonlinear fashion. Its output is connected to the prototyping connector and can be
used as an onboard temperature sensor. The thermistor receives its power via J11 and will not draw
any current if J11 is not connected. This is important if current measurement is needed on the
PSoC 4.
