You'll find this forum very useful: http://www.psocdeveloper.com/

There is also the Cypress forum on their web site.

Thanks for the help I now have a flashing LED :)

Assuming you're using the USB to program the PSoC on the Invention
board, I've found following the instructions in the "Instructions.txt" file
works for me.  Perhaps you've skipped step 9:

"Uncheck the 'Connect' box.  The PSoC will not begin executing the
program until the USB connection is disconnected."

Other methods that work for me include exiting the programmer
application and cycling the power for the Invention board.

Hi All,

I've been messing around with the PSOC Invention/Mini Development
board to try and remember how firmware works (verrryy rusty :) ) but I
cannot get the thing to run the code. I've resorted to using the
test.hex file that comes with the kit. Once I have programmed the part
how do I get it to run the code. There is no monitor etc and I can't
seem to find a software based "go" button. Tried a power reset but it
just sits there and does nothing. Can abyone tell me what obvious
thing i'm missing???


Thanks

Iain
