A new EcmaScript / JavaScript library for Yoctopuce

By mvuilleu, in Programming and New stuff, april 10,2016.

Some time ago, we presented the beginnings of a new Yoctopuce library designed to modernize our JavaScript support, for browsers as well as for Node.js. After three months of internal and external testing, and many improvements, it is now time to make official this EcmaScript library which is now supported at the same level as all the other languages.

Retrieving recorded measures over the Internet

By seb, in Programming, march 04,2016.

There is a data logger in almost all of our sensors. This data logger can automatically record values measured by the sensor. The advantage is that it continues to record data even network connectivity is lost or when the application stops. When the application takes control again, it is possible to get back the measures performed during the interval. But up till now, it was unfortunately impossible to retrieve data logger measure using the HTTP callback mode. Thanks to the new WebSocket callback mode, you can now use the data logger over an Internet link without limits. This week, we are writing a Java web application which illustrates this feature.

Yoctopuce modules: inventory and tree structure

By martinm, in Programming, january 17,2016.

The Yoctopuce API was designed to easily drive any Yoctopuce module with a minimum of code. It's therefore very easy to make an inventory of all the modules directly connected by USB to a machine. However, up till now, it was rather difficult, not to say impossible, to rebuild the exact tree structure of a system based on Yoctopuce modules, in particular for modules connected via the network. The latest version of the API now allows you to do this thanks to three new functions.

The WebSocket callbacks in Java

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

Last week we published a preview of our Java and Javascript library with WebSocket support. This week we have updated our RSS feed reader example in Java, which was using the classical HTTP Callback. We have now made it interactive with the help of WebSockets.

Remote device control using WebSocket callbacks

By mvuilleu, in New stuff and Programming, december 26,2015.

Until now, there were two different ways of accessing Yoctopuce devices over the network: either by direct connection over a local network, or using the special HTTP callback mode which makes it possible to drive a Yoctopuce module sitting on a remote network behind a NAT filter. The HTTP callback method however had some limitations. Today, we are introducing a new connection method, named WebSocket callback, that brings all direct connection features to the callback scheme.
