Cypress releases Environmental Sensing Kit

Cypress Semiconductor has introduced the CY3271-EXP1 Environmental Sensing Kit for the PSoC Firsttouch Starter Kit with Cyfi Low-Power RF.

The Environmental Sensing Kit includes two boards: a weather station expansion board that includes sensors for atmospheric pressure, humidity, temperature and ambient light (all of which can be operated and monitored simultaneously); and a pigtail thermistor board for measuring temperature in remote locations.

The kit is ideal for designers of systems such as HVAC system monitors, weather stations and environmental sensor alarms.

Designers can use the Sense and Control Dashboard software included in the Firsttouch Starter Kit to quickly set-up and monitor a wired or wireless sensor network through the intuitive visual dashboard.

The combination of the Environmental Sensing Kit and the dashboard enable data logging, data aggregation, alarms and sensor calibration for nearly any type of sensor.

The kit also supports custom expansion for designers wanting to develop their own applications.

The Cyfi Low-Power RF combines reliable connectivity, power-efficiency and superior range.

It is supported by the flexible and easy-to-use PSoC programmable system-on-chip.

PSoC reduces the complexity of quantifying a sensor's signal by integrating the amplification, filtering, and ADC stages into a single device.

The PSoC's analogue MUX allows multiple sensors to be connected concurrently.
