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.

Yocto-Visualization: User's guide

By martinm, in For the beginners, february 21,2020.

The Yocto-Visualization application which enables you to easily visualize the data coming from Yoctopuce sensors wasn't implemented in a day. It's main development spread over more than two years. This is why the information about it is somewhat scattered around this blog. This week, we decided to gather all the pieces of information into a post. If you have never used Yocto-Visualization before, you can find here everything you need to know. If you have already used it, take the time to browse through this post, you may have missed some interesting details.

Inclinometer tests

By mvuilleu, in Measures and Reviews, february 14,2020.

For some applications, the Yocto-3D and the Yocto-3D-V2 can be used as inclinometers, as they can estimate their spatial orientation. But you may have noticed that we don't provide any accuracy information on the inclination measure in the specifications. To know more, we are going to compare these two modules today with the Murata SCL3300 precision inclinometer that we interfaced last week with a Yocto-SPI.
