We’re Celebrating 12 Days of Tech!

We kicked off the holidays finding Nice solutions to 12 Naughty technology problems.

What do Santa’s elves and Cypress’ problem solvers have in common? They know what will land you on the Naughty and Nice List. This year we made a list (and checked it twice), highlighting some of our favorite technologies. If you haven’t been following us on Twitter at @CypressSemi, here’s a recap of the 12 technologies that will get you on our Nice List:

1. A smart irrigation system created with our PSoC Pioneer Kit so you don’t forget to water your plants when you travel for the holidays.
