Calibrating a Yoctopuce sensor

By seb, in Measures and Programming, october 16,2016.

Generally, we always try to use sensors which do not require any calibration. But, in some cases, we cannot work around this step, in particular if you need to compensate an external perturbation. All the Yoctopuce sensors have the possibility to automatically apply a correction to the value returned by the sensor. Let's see how it works.

How to correctly use a Yocto-3D-V2 in Unity

By seb, in Programming, september 02,2016.

From time to time, some customers complain that the Yocto-3D-V2 lacks reactivity. But each time, it's due to a misunderstanding of our API. Indeed, to use the Yocto-3D-V2 efficiently, you must imperatively use callbacks. To illustrate this issue in an entertaining way, we have decided to show you how to correctly use a Yocto-3D-V2 in a Unity 5 game engine.

Overview of the UWP library

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...
