New! The Yocto-Color-V2

By martinm, in New stuff, may 13,2016.

This week, we invite you to meet a newcomer: the Yocto-Color-V2. Basically, it's a multicolor led driver designed to replace the Yocto-Color. Wait! Don't go just yet! This module can do much more than drive two RGB leds. You can do some real cool stuff with it...

Configuring your Yoctopuce modules with the VirtualHub

By seb, in For the beginners, may 04,2016.

This week, we continue our "Yoctopuce for beginners" post series. We are going to see how to test and configure a Yoctopuce module. More particularly, we are going to show you how to configure a YoctoHub-Wireless-g so that it connects itself to a wireless network.

Passive monitoring of an empty house

By martinm, in Measures and Internet of Things, april 29,2016.

Let's imagine an isolated house, unoccupied most of the time, with the heater set to the minimum to prevent pipes from freezing. No Internet, no phone... only electricity. How to make sure, without going there, that: a/ the boiler has not broken down , b/ no one settled in inside the said house without your knowledge? We had a few ideas...

New interface module: the Yocto-SPI

There is a newcomer in the family of Yoctopuce interface modules: the Yocto-SPI. This small module can communicate with sensors and other devices that use a SPI communication protocol.

Connecting a Yoctopuce sensor to an MQTT broker

By seb, in Measures and New stuff, april 14,2016.

To integrate a Yoctopuce sensor into an application, you can use our libraries to communicate directly with the Yoctopuce module. It's the most efficient manner, which also offers the most possibilities. But to do so, you need a minimum of programming knowledge. The other solution is to use a standard protocol and applications which support this protocol. It's the case of MQTT. We just added MQTT support into the VirtualHub and the YoctoHubs.
