DemoKit01 questions answered

When is the US-Version Dev Kit available?

We aim to have it ready soon. In the mean time we can ship the EU dev kit which can be used in the same way (same API) as the US915 version.

What is the Dev Kit interface (mini-prog, JTAG)?

The interface is Miniprog SWD, 5 pin connector.

How is the BLE used? Does the Dev Kit board have an antenna for BLE also? If not, how is the BLE exposed.

BLE is used as it should with ModusToolbox. There’s a solder pad to connect an antenna. The simplest way to make a pretty decent antenna is to solder a stiff wire of 28mm (vertically) directly to the pad. This act as an quarter wave antenna with the board as ground plane.

When will the Creator Component be ready?

Onethinx Core module is not supported with PSoC Creator

Hey Guys. We ordered a Demo Kit a few months ago and it appears that Marc van Ballegooijen, our contact there is on honeymoon. How do we find out where we are in the queue? USA or Euro Kits are OK as we use both… Thank you. Clay S Perreault - Penteon.io

Hi Clay,

Your request is in the queue. We had a small delay with finalizing the LoRaWAN stack, we aim to send out the module this week.

Stay tuned!

Thanks!

Is there any chance you might reconsider PSoC Creator support. PSoC Creator is a pleasure to use. So far, using Modus Toolbox has been like pulling teeth.

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately there’s no possible to program and debug the module with PSoC Creator. In the standard version the M0+ is locked. PSoC Creator is not able to use the M4 while the M0+ is locked.

You can use the blank version of our module however but that one doesn’t have a built-in LoRaWAN stack.

I’m not a fan of ModusToolbox either and I suggest to take a look at the VS code setup for PSoC.
