Remote serial communication with VirtualHub for Web

By mvuilleu, in New stuff, december 29,2023.

Most of our examples with Yoctopuce communication modules use their integrated job system, which enables autonomous interrogation of an external sensor and assignment of the values read to the 10 genericSensors available on the module. This makes it particularly easy to upload measurements to a VirtualHub for Web server. Today, we're going to show you how to proceed in a more complex case where it's not possible to use genericSensors, for example because there are more than 10 measures to capture, or because the data is not numerical.

Firmware update on remote devices

By mvuilleu, in New stuff, december 09,2023.

A year ago, we announced a new tool for monitoring your systems based on Yoctopuce devices via the Internet, called VirtualHub for Web. This tool uses our HTTP callback mechanism to interact with modules, while offering a Web interface very similar to the usual YoctoHub or VirtualHub interface. The first version nevertheless had certain limitations, which we are gradually working to reduce...

New! The Yocto-IO-V2

By martinm, in New stuff, november 10,2023.

This week, we present the Yocto-IO-V2, a digital interface with four fully configurable inputs / outputs. In fact, it does exactly the same thing as the Yocto-IO, a product apparently very popular with Yoctopuce customers. One might well wonder why Yoctopuce decided to develop this version two...

Sending values with communication modules

By mvuilleu, in New stuff, september 15,2023.

Yoctopuce serial communication modules such as Yocto-RS485-V2 and Yocto-I2C are capable of autonomously executing small communication protocols, for example to interrogate sensors. We were recently asked whether it was possible to use a value received from a sensor in a message sent later. As is often the case, the answer is: yes, it's now possible...

Rotary knobs with quadrature encoder

By mvuilleu, in New stuff, august 25,2023.

The Yocto-Knob and Yocto-MaxiDisplay variants have analog inputs for connecting interface buttons: pushbuttons, rotary knobs. However, there was one type of button that was not supported: infinite rotary buttons with quadrature encoder. This limitation has now been lifted.
