Did you know you can create a customized menu in PSoC® Creator?  

Right click in a blank area of the top menu and select customize from the dropdown menu (right).

Create a new menu (below).  To add commands to the custom menu, go to the Commands tab.  Select a category and drag the command out of the dialog box and onto your custom toolbar.  

     I created one with Start Page, Add Component Item, Auto Hide All and DMA Wizard.

Design the way you think with PSoC Creator.

Benjamin Franklin's life and history is taught to every US grade school student.  With his famous electricity experiments with a kite, his inventions of bifocals and his daily schedule, Benjamin Franklin's legacy is still inspiring today.  If you're interested, you can find out more about his life and history from the links below.  I just want to share a quote from Benjamin Franklin that really resonates with the PSoC Creator team.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. 

- Benjamin Franklin

We would like to involve all of you in PSoC Creator.  Not just in using it but in helping us define the next generation because we realize this isn't just a Cypress tool it's your tool.  Please be a part of our discussions here and on the Cypress Developer Community.

Find out more about Benjamin Franklin:

Find a discussion of some of his most famous inventions including the lightning rod in 1753.  Did you know there was a television show by PBS about the life of Benjamin Franklin?  There is a good Wikipedia article about  Benjamin Franklin s life and a discussion of his famous kite experiment on a US History education site.

The General PSoC Programming web page is central location that details every aspect of programming PSoC devices. Topics discussed include software, hardware, documentation, and 3rd party vendor relationships available to PSoC customers.

Here is the link (bookmark it!): http://www.cypress.com/go/programming

Perhaps most importantly we maintain a table of production programming solutions for all parts. Here is a snapshot summary of that information (there is more detail on the web).

As we extend the list of supported programmer tools we ll post a message to this forum and update the table on the web so you can always have an accurate and up-to-date record of your PSoC programming choices.

Happy Programming!

The PSoC Creator team is continually working to make our tools easier to use and to let our customers have the best experience possible on PSoC.  As part of that mission, we've been working on continually updating our component datasheets into Chinese and Japanese.  In the future, we're planning on service packs to add the datasheets natively into the Creator build where they will open based on your host PC's native language setting.  Until we're 100% there, you can access the datasheets directly from each component's web page.

Within Creator Today, you have three ways to get to Chinese or Japanese Datasheets.

• Right clicking on a component will bring up a menu with Open Component Web Page.  You'll find the Chinese and Japanese language datasheets with the documentation.
• Help -> Documentation -> Japanese Language -> Component Datasheets will open a list of all of the datasheets translated into Japanese.
• If you're in the Document Manager, selecting any Component Datasheet will bring up the Component Web pages with the associated translated datasheets.
