Coronavirus disease 2019

By martinm, in Misc, march 30,2020.

Here in Switzerland, the population is currently not formally confined, but all the schools and all the non-essentials shops are closed, meetings of more than 5 people are forbidden. Borders are closed as well, unless you have a truly valid reason to cross them, and the population is strongly encouraged to stay at home. If you read this post, you are either bored senseless at home, or you wonder how Yoctopuce is handling this unprecedented crisis.

This week, we continue our "For the beginners" post series. Do you know that you can configure YoctoHubs so that they connect themselves directly to Cloud services? This feature is available on all the YoctoHubs and on the VirtualHub. Here is an overview of the supported Cloud services.

Using Yoctopuce sensors with InfluxDB 2.0 OSS

By seb, in Internet of Things, march 13,2020.

InfluxDB is a database specifically designed to store time series of measures. You already could add measures from Yoctopuce sensors in an InfluxDB 1.0 database with YoctoHubs or with the VirtualHub. But the recently available new version of InfluxDB uses a new API which isn't compatible. We decided to add support for this new version in the firmware of YoctoHubs and of the VirtualHub. Here is how to insert the measures of Yoctopuce sensors into InfluxDB 2.0 directly from a YoctoHub.

New! Yocto-GPS-V2

By martinm, in New stuff, march 06,2020.

This week, we announce the arrival of the Yocto-GPS-V2. It's roughly a Yocto-GPS, with the Galileo reception added on. The most attentive among you may ask why a Galileo compatible V2, while we had suggested that a firmware update should be enough to add Galileo support later on to our Yocto-GPS V1. Well, not everything worked as planned...

A micro-display based on Neopixel leds

By seb february 28,2020.

This week, we are going to talk about the Yocto-Color-V2. This module can drive up to 150 RGB leds. In a previous post, we saw how to create animations which are run directly by the Yocto-Color-V2. There are however limitations and for complex animations we sometimes have to compute each frame of the animation and to update the leds from the application. This is what we are going to do this week.
