Improvements for the Yocto-PWM-Tx

By mvuilleu, in New stuff, april 20,2018.

After four years of operation, we rejuvenate the Yocto-PWM-Tx this Spring, with hardware and software improvements. It naturally stays 100% compatible with the original version. Here is a small overview of what's new.

Our new Node-RED package

By seb, in Programming, april 13,2018.

Some time ago, we published a Node-RED node which allowed you to use a Yoctopuce sensor in a Node-RED schema. This week, we publish other nodes which enable you to use Yoctopuce modules other than sensors, such as Yocto-Relays, Yocto-Buzzers, and so on.

The Yocto-Color and RGBW leds

By martinm, in New stuff and Programming, april 06,2018.

The Yocto-Color-V2 was designed in the beginning of 2016 to drive those small RGB leds that one can wire serially and address individually, the most well known ones being the Adafruit NEOPIXEL leds. Meanwhile appeared the RGBW leds, which can emit not only red, green, and blue but also white and which are, for sure, compatible with the classic RGB leds. Good news: we just published a new firmware for the Yocto-Color-V2 which drives these RGBW leds.

New: PRTG support in the YoctoHubs

By mvuilleu, in New stuff and Internet of Things, march 30,2018.

This week, we added support to the YoctoHubs and VirtualHub for a new monitoring and graph system, which is of particular interest to system engineers: PRTG. From now on, no more excuse for not detecting air conditioning failures before the servers crash :-)

Implementing a scale with Windows 10 IoT

By seb, in Internet of Things and Tiny PC, march 23,2018.

This week, we wanted to test Windows IoT. To do so, we decided to use a Raspberry Pi 3, our new Yocto-Bridge module and a Yocto-MaxiDisplay to implement a weighing scale.
