General bugs with the PSoC

General bugs with the PSoC

I download the projet from the correction but I'm not able to open it due to path issues

The project needs to be located in a folder with :

• The exact same name
• A suffix .cydsn

Example : if my project is named myProjLab1 it should be inside a folder called myProjLab1.cydsn.

The PSoC is not detected by the computer

There could be many reasons :

• You forgot to download/install the CY8CKIT-059 SDK for the $\mu$-controller,
• You're not plugged on a functional USB port, or the USB câble is connected upside down (in that case the LEDs should be switched off). It might also be due to a false contact.
• If it worked fine before and then one day it doesn't, it might be due to a Windows update that uninstalled the drivers for the PSoC. In that case, you should see a warning symbol (⚠️) next to the PSoC in the device manager. To address this, you should :
  • Right click on the device in the device_manager
  • Update the drivers, but giving the local path for it (do not let Windows looking for drivers for you). The path should be something like C:/Program Files (x86)/Cypress/.
