Abstract:
The PSoC (Programmable System on Chip) device is a highly adaptable circuit board that can be programmed to
allow for complete usage of the various onboard components. A PSoC device can be programmed for auditory
output if it has the right components installed. The CY8C24894-24FLXI PSoC board contains a buzzer which allows
for use of the board as an auditory output device. Additionally, the board includes a CapSense (Capacitive Sensor)
component. This CapSense component includes touch sensitive buttons along with a slider which enable the input
end of the project. Utilizing a CY3214 device, an octave of a piano keyboard can be simulated. The base of the
program was written in C programming language on Cypress Semiconductor’s PSoC Designer 5 software. Initially,
the program was written to work with only one board, allowing one full octave. However, with some modification, the
C code can be modified successfully to allow two boards to connect and utilize both CapSense components. In
addition, with even further development and more research, the board was able to be connected to external
CapSense buttons that would serve as keyboards for the full octave to be outputted and also including a “whammy”
slider for whammy effect on notes. With much testing and debugging, the device output was successful, with the
CapSense components utilized to allow for a single full octave, including sharp and flat notes. Since the board was
apt for that kind of customization, we tested it to see if an amplifier would have sustained. The amplifier sustained
and the output was significantly cleaner. The board, with further programming, has the capability to play full songs
with the amplifier. This application of the PSoC device is very promising for future embedded systems design as it
demonstrates the feasibility of user friendly entertainment devices with flexible inputs and outputs. The PSoC is a
revolutionary device that if used for specific uses, may surpass the dominance of multi-purpose personal computers.
Conclusion:
The PSoC board was successfully able to support
CapSense buttons and an 8-bit Pulse Width Modulator
(Auditory Output.) The PSoC CY824094 EVAL board
was able to support two sliders and had enough space
for two more buttons. This board is not suitable for more
than one octave at a time. The external CapSense
buttons had significant noise and are extremely sensitive
to each other and length. Some of the CapSense buttons
had to be assigned to different port’s pins in order to
have them all working. The number of components and
the number of CapSense buttons were inversely
proportional to each other; the more components
placed, the less could be used for CapSense buttons.
The pins were assigned logically to position the wires so
they would not touch each other or else interference
occurred. The wires were then soldered to the copper
tape and the copper tape was attached to the eight-inch
acrylic sheet. The acrylic sheet is non conductive, thus
allowing for capacitive sensing to work. This board
sustained all the external CapSense buttons and the
auditory output.
