It is Arduino Compatible when it comes to Arduino Shields but that is just a beginning. The system Cypress has come up with is very much like an FPGA chip with analog features. The programing language consist of drag and drop logic and analog circuits. Cypress also provides the programing software at no cost. This software is not like the Arduino’s. Cost of the development board is reasonable - $25.00.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.cypress.com/?rID=77780">http://www.cypress.com/?rID=77780</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cypress training courses are located at:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.cypress.com/?id=1162&">http://www.cypress.com/?id=1162&</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Two boards were ordered last Monday and they arrived at Frank’s lab today. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This board has lots of memory with a clock of 48 Mhz.
