C-to-USB Bridge Kit
The CY3240-I2USB kit allows you to test, tune, and debug hardware and software by bridging the USB port to I
2
C.
Populated with the CY8C24894 PSoC device, a wide variety of devices can be connected to the PC using this bridge
including:
EEPROMs
Real-time clocks
ADC/DAC converters
LCD displays
Regulated DC/DC converters
Port expanders
Other devices incorporating the I
2
C interface
The number of devices that can be connected is constrained only by the I
2
C address limit and physical ability of the
I
2
C bus.
7.9 Debugging/Data Viewing Tools
Software tools are available for data viewing, debugging, and tuning CapSense applications. These tools can help
you monitor critical data, such as raw counts and CapSense parameters.
The debugging and data viewing tools are:
Bridge Control Panel
MultiChart
For more details on the tools, see the application note AN2397 – CapSense Data Viewing Tools.
7.9.1 Bridge Control Panel
Bridge Control Panel is a software tool used with CY3240 USB-I
2
C Bridge to enable communication with I
2
C slave
devices. The software tool is used to configure I
2
C devices as well as acquire and process data received from I
2
C
slave devices. The Bridge Control Panel helps in optimizing, debugging, and calibrating the target applications.
