Yoctopuce & NEEO, the useless driver

A few customers have asked us whether we supported Linux aarch64 or arm64, that is a Linux which uses an 64-bit ARM processor. The answer is yes and no.

Customers have asked us several times why Yocto-Visualization offers only 4 data series per graph and whether it is possible to have more.

Nevertheless, it's rather easy to modify the application to have more series, and this week we show you how to do so.

We decided to implement these changes and we published our PHP library on Composer's official repository: packagist. Therefore, we are going to show you how to use our library with Composer.
