This full-featured starter kit ships with an array of sensors, I/O’s, projects, and software to allow you to evaluate PSoC and see what values the solution can provide you. And, in addition to trying out PSoC 3, gain full access to other features of the FirstTouch Starter Kit like Serial Wire Debugging (SWD), an Accelerometer, a Thermistor, Proximity Sensing, a CapSense® touch-sensing interface, a 12-pin wireless module header, and even 28 general purpose I/O pins (GPIOs). Whatever your need for PSoC may be, the PSoC 3 FirstTouch Starter Kit has the tools to get you started – and hooked – on PSoC.

NOTE: As stated above, the purpose of this kit is to get you acquainted with the PSoC 3 architecture and software tools. For full development and evaluation purposes, we recommend you use one of our full development kits: PSoC 3 Development Kit (CY8CKIT-030) or PSoC Development Kit (CY8CKIT-001).
