The goal of the competition is to build an RC Bot that can be controlled using the Bluetooth Low
Energy (BLE) protocol. If you have an iPhone 4 or newer or an Android device, BLE is already
built into it.
You will compete in a Programmable System on a Chip (PSoC) design competition using a
Cypress CY8CKIT-042-BLE PSoC 4 Pioneer Bluetooth Low Energy development kit. PSoC 4
BLE is a programmable device with an ARM Cortex M0, programmable digital and analog
blocks, and a BLE radio all on a single chip!
Workshop Breakdown
• Session 1: Combination of lecture and hands-on labs to introduce you to PSoC 4 BLE
and its design environment (PSoC Creator), as well as the RC Bot structure.
• Session 2: Hands-on RC Bot build day.
• Session 3: Finish RC Bot project and present your version of the solution.
Space is limited. To apply, please e-mail your full name, MIT class year and major, and MIT email
address to iap-psoc@mit.edu. We’ll let you know after January 10th if you have received a
spot in the class. We will maintain a waiting list in the event that spots open up.
