A connected racing gate for mini-quadcopters

By mvuilleu, in DIY and Internet of Things, january 26,2018.

We have recently found remote-controlled micro-quadcopters, so light that you can use them inside without risk, even in an office environment. Some models are even equipped with a camera, allowing you to fly in FPV (First Person View). If you like learning new things, it's ideal to lighten the rainy days that we have been having early this year.

Building an oven and its regulation

By martinm, in DIY and Internet of Things, december 01,2017.

We recently decided to systematically test the behavior of Yoctopuce modules when they are submitted to high temperatures. We therefore had to build an enclosure able to heat up and maintain a relatively precise temperature. This week, we show you how we built it.

A gateway to remotely access YoctoHubs

By mvuilleu, in Internet of Things and New stuff, november 27,2017.

Today we present a new tool which you'll find very useful if you use Yoctopuce modules in a protected network environment, such as behind a NAT filter or a firewall. If you have ever wished to remotely connect to your devices for an interactive session, for instance to modify the configuration, you will be glad to know that this is now possible... even for YoctoHub-GSM!

Using Yoctopuce sensors in FRED

By seb, in Internet of Things, september 18,2017.

A few weeks ago, a customer contacted us to know how to upload data from Yoctopuce sensors on a sensetecnic FRED cloud service. We have published a new firmware to make the YoctoHubs compatible with this service. So this week, we will take this opportunity to explain how to use a Yoctopuce sensor in FRED.

Signaling network failures

By martinm, in Internet of Things and DIY, september 08,2017.

This mishap may have happened to you: comfortably lounging at home, you surf on your smart phone. Suddenly, nothing anymore: you have reached the limit of your data subscription. After a short investigation, you notice that your DSL router crashed a few days before and that, meanwhile, you used your phone GSM connection while you thought you were on the Wifi. If only you could have noticed earlier... You are lucky, this week we just happen to discuss a very easy DIY project to signal network failures as soon as possible.
