I received an email advertisement from Avnet for the Cypress PSOC FirstTouch Starter kit. I noticed an unusual feature...
Key Features:
Four embedded designs right out of the box * No code, no debugging PSoC Express-based design platform * 16-pin connection interface to plug the malfunction expansion card into target boards * Pins accessible for user functions * Convenient, USB thumb drive format * I2C and ISSP support
Anyone else think this is a bit odd? But perhaps there is a market for "malfunction expansion" cards. Who knew?
I don't know if there's a market, but there have been plenty of them shipped from various vendors over the years. If you're going to admit up front that's what you're shipping, they sure would be cheaper to make...

With their first generation PSOC, this could have been an honest statement. With the new PSOC generation, its probably just an honest mistake. multifunction?
Only FOUR, obviously won't do the number of last years systems I did then. Perhaps the 'four' embedded systems are PDA, phone,.....
Always works first time even if you get your Volts, millivolts and microvolts wrong? So why isn't the 'Telepathetic System Design' key feature listed?
Sems to describe most connection interfaces in existence, so should fit well.
What no soldering to pins immersed in epoxy resin? What is the world coming to when we can use the pins to connect to our embedded system.
Convenient to lose, break, file away in a safe place, even if I am a two index finger typist.

Not odd just standard practise of droids who 'know' computers cut and paste then write their own dross around it expecting the computer to spell check and sort it all out for them. Monkeys comes to mind.
