Getting Started - Cypress EZ-Color CY3263-ColorLock Quick Start Manual

Getting Started

1. Review Kit Contents
2. Install Software
3. Board Layout
4. Use the Board as Factory Programmed
5. Explore the CY3263 Hands-On Example Projects
6. Review Additional ColorLock EZ-Color Resources
The CY3263-ColorLock EZ-Color evaluation board demonstrates the ability of a PSoC® controller
to use real-time optical feedback to control three primary, high brightness LEDs and create accurate,
mixed-color output. The three LEDs on the CY3263 evaluation board use the primary colors red,
green, and blue, although any three primary color LEDs can be used in a design, depending upon
the application and the desired color gamut.
Right out of the box, CY3263-ColorLock EZ-Color can be used to evaluate and demonstrate EZ-
Color functionality, including color mixing and optical feedback. Part of evaluating ColorLock
requires using a PC GUI to monitor and control ColorLock functionality (see Section Section 4. Use
the Board as Factory Programmed).
The next step is to develop a ColorLock application using this kit as a platform. Use PSoC Express,
Cypress's revolutionary visual embedded design tool, to quickly design powerful lighting applica-
tions. See Section 5. Explore the CY3263 Hands-On Example Projects.

WARNING: HIGH BRIGHTNESS LEDs CAN CAUSE PERMANENT EYE
DAMAGE!
Do not look at the LEDs if they are not covered by the protective enclosure.
The LEDs illuminate at a very high intensity and can cause permanent eye
damage if they are viewed without the protective enclosure.
