Cypress PSOC programmers please comment.

Hello.
Myapp is for a PSC motor controller (speed and direction) there are many app notes for various chips eg Microchip AN967 gives decent details, code and so on. I am used to 8051 and with the given data from Microchip appnote AN967 would be able to impliment a similar control system.

I went to my chip vendor who suggested instead of staying with the 8051 family to try Cypress PSOC because he said it was so easy to use as to almost make the programmer redundant. However, in reality it seems that when one has unusual requirements there may be a similar workload as would be the case if I stuck with my tried and trusty 8051 variants (inlude Atmel Mega).


I am wondering if the learning curve for a newbie to create such a driver for PSOC would take me longer to implement than for the likes of familiar 8051 or AVR in C.

If anyone here has been using the PSOC system, and has previous experience with other micros I'd be particularly interested in your comments as to the development curve for new addons, and comments in general.
Kind regards,
Alistair.
