Sample Firmware Code

 

Building the code and Programming

You can build the project using the Build menu or Build icon PSoCCreator Build Button. The Output panel shows the build results. Any errors will stop the build process and messages identifying these problems will be displayed in the Output panel.

To program the PSoC with the newly build firmware, connect the PSoC board to the PC using the USB cable. Load the program using either the Debug➤Program selection or the following Program icon PSoCCreator Program Button. The programming status is also shown in the Output panel.

When programmed, you can test your system and observe the results.
