As part of the final project, all code needs to be written in 8051 assembly (C51). The Cypress part is an interesting choice for this application since it offers mixed-signal capability (ADCs and op-amps) directly on the chip, so minimal external part count is required.

The board is identical to the Cypress CY8CKIT-050 PSoC 5 Development Kit I am holding in my hand. It was offered as part of a Cypress contest a year or two ago. Nice hardware and super easy to program with the Cypress Creator IDE.
