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

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

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.

Structure of a Yoctopuce application

By martinm, in For the beginners and Programming, february 04,2022.

This week's post is dedicated to beginners who have just received their first Yoctopuce module and who wonder about the kind of code they are going to need to write to make it work. So we are going to talk about the general structure of an application using Yoctopuce modules.
