Overview of the UWP library

By seb, in New stuff and Programming, august 10,2016.

Several customers have tried to use our C++ or C# libraries with Windows 10 IoT on a Raspberry Pi. Unfortunately, this doesn't work because Windows 10 IoT is not a "true" Windows: it doesn't allow you to run Win32 applications. You can run only the new universal applications. We are currently working on a solution which would allow you to use our modules on all the Windows 10 versions, including Windows IoT. This post gives us the opportunity to review the matter...

New: the Yocto-3D-V2

By mvuilleu, in New stuff and DIY, july 01,2016.

The Yocto-3D is in the top 10 of the products we sell the most. Nevertheless, we have a problem with it: it doesn't allow us to calibrate a compensation for magnetic perturbations, and its firmware is choke-full, which prevents us from improving it. So we attacked the problem from a different angle and, today, we propose a new, similar product, but based on a more efficient sensor including hard iron magnetic compensation. Welcome to the Yocto-3D-V2...

Animating RGB LEDs using a Yocto-Color-V2

By seb, in Programming and New stuff, june 01,2016.

When we announced the Yocto-Color-V2, we explained that this new version can drive up to 146 NeoPixel leds. However, to use this new feature, you must use a new API that we are going to discover in this post.

Sending and receiving SMS from a software

By mvuilleu, in New stuff, may 31,2016.

We have just added a new feature to the YoctoHub-GSM. If you update your firmware, you will be able to use it to send and receive SMS. This is might not look very useful to access a Yoctopuce sensor, but it opens the door to new use-cases for the YoctoHub-GSM itself. For instance, you can now implement two factor authentication.

New! The Yocto-Color-V2

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...
