Integrating serial snooping into your applications

By mvuilleu, in Programming, may 20,2022.

One of the specificities of Yoctopuce serial interfaces is their capacity to listen to messages circulating on an existing line in both directions to reconstruct the communications. Most of the time, it's used to understand how an undocumented protocol works, but you can also use this function in production to monitor and measure an existing system. That's why we have recently added a new API making it easy to integrate serial snooping into your projects.

Catching log messages

By seb, in Programming, april 22,2022.

When you design an automation solution intended to last, you must think about integrating tools which you will need one day to detect failure signs or aging signs. In some cases, this goes through managing error messages or exceptions. But on top of this, there can be diagnostic information transmitted by the modules: log messages. We are going to show you here how to integrate them into your projects.

Scanning an I2C bus

By martinm, in Programming, april 15,2022.

A customer pointed out to us that the Yoctopuce API doesn't allow for the Yocto-I2C to scan an I2C bus to detect the devices connected to it. It turns out that this is not quite accurate...

Yoctopuce and .Net 6

By seb, in Programming, march 15,2022.

Microsoft recently released version 6 of the .Net framework (formerly known as .Net Core). This version is supposed to be compatible with older versions of the framework, but in reality it isn't. We therefore had to fix some small problems in our library, in particular in the NuGet package.

YoctoHubs and Discovery

By martinm, in Programming, february 25,2022.

You may have guessed it because you have already used Yocto-Discovery, but if your application uses network hubs, it doesn't necessarily need to know their IP address to establish communication with them. It can also try to discover them by itself: the YoctoHub-Ethernet and YoctoHub-Wireless implement the SSDP protocol (Simple Service Discovery Protocol) which makes possible to discover devices present on a local network.
