Re: Cypress Tutorial?

You don't need the 9v battery. The Cypress board will use the battery or the USB power, not both anyway.

DO connect the Cypress board directly to your Classmate, NOT through any USB hub. It does draw a lot of power and last year a lot of teams had it drop out when match time came.

You can connect an LED to Digital out using an appropriate resistor.
