PSoC 6 101

Don't get me wrong, I still think for a tiny "wearable" that just does one simple thing and sleeps most of the time, and then exchanges data/settings via BT every now and then, the nrf52 is a pretty cool option. And I'm not singling this out, it's just the latest example.... I've seen other single core RFSOC parts do similar horrors when you push past the (often undisclosed) limits of what the proprietary (often closed source) stack leaves you.

Nordic's stack seems pretty solid, and I think a lot of that comes from it taking nearly complete control of the hardware. However, we've had some problems with nRF but those have come from issues in the peripheral silicon rather than OEM firmware. It burns my grits when a nRF5x has some goofy race condition in hardware that would be a bug in anyone else's book, but they just spackle over it in a firmware update and then never update the errata.

well... mouser delivered!
 
now I need some time to actually get into it and see what it can do.

maybe in a few weeks.

Just got the confirmation email from Digi-Key, my preorder has been shipped too.

Thanks for posting the updates!  I just ordered a couple from Mouser so I should be good to go with the tutorials.

Oh dear. I only just started mucking with PSoC 4 and 5LP, but it looks like this might need to be added.

Now the problem is waiting on the project videos.  At the moment, there are just 4 of the proposed 40 and it will take less than an hour to work through them.  Then what?

My primary interest is in the robot arm project (plus the proposed gadgetry), not the PSOC 6 itself.
