New features for our serial interfaces

By mvuilleu, in New stuff, july 04,2020.

Yoctopuce serial interfaces can do much more then standard USB to serial adapters. One of their features which is not well known is their ability to record a communication, including the time interval between messages. To help you take the most out of it, we have just improved the user interface of these devices.

Using the Yoctopuce library with Java modules

A customer recently asked us whether our Java library was compatible with Java 11. The answer is yes. We are always careful to remain compatible with current versions, while maintaining backward compatibility. In the present case, you can use our library with all Java versions starting with version 6.

As we noticed that it wasn't always easy to write scripts that were correct the first time round, especially the part decoding received messages, we created a small interactive tool to help you test your expressions.

This week, we received a Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera and to test it we decided to build a small photographic trap. The goal of this trap was to film and weigh a bird when it is eating but, as you are going to see, at Yoctopuce we are more gifted with electronics than with animals.
