Can you make a Yocto-Color blink?

By martinm, in Programming, november 07,2014.

A question comes up quite often among users of Yocto-Color and of Yocto-PowerColor modules: Can you make the RGB led of these two modules blink automatically? This is not a crazy idea. When you see what a Yoctopuce relay can do, you can expect similar features with a Yoctopuce RGB led.

Google Calendar on your Yocto-MaxiDisplay

By Sébastien Rinsoz, in Internet of Things and Programming, october 31,2014.

Some time ago, we found a post where someone had built a device showing his schedule on his office door using Google Calendar. We liked the idea and, this week, we are going to show you how to display your appointments of the day on your fridge door using a Yocto-MaxiDisplay and a YoctoHub-Wireless-SR.

About RegisterHub

By martinm, in Programming, october 24,2014.

If you ever wrote the tiniest bit of code to manage Yoctopuce modules, you know the RegisterHub function. But do you really know all of its features? As years went by, this function benefited from additional features without anyone taking care to describe them in details. So, let's see how to use this function...

LabVIEW and Yoctopuce sensors

By mvuilleu, in New stuff, Programming and Measures, october 17,2014.

Week after week, more LabVIEW users discover our sensors and ask us if we will consider creating a full LabVIEW library for our devices. For now the only option was to write your own VI to invoke our command line library, which is neither very convenient nor very efficient. Therefore, we have decided to build a better solution, and we even have something for you to try. At this stage this is only a "proof of concept", but we are waiting for your feedback and your LabVIEW experience to make the final version of this new library as good as you would like it to be!

New product: the Yocto-MaxiPowerRelay

By martinm, in New stuff, october 10,2014.

Those of you who pay close attention may have noticed that, since a few weeks ago, the Yocto-MaxiRelay is not available anymore. Actually, we have decided to discontinue this product: too expensive, too heavy, too hard to build, for a result somewhat disappointing in terms of DC load breaking capacity. As there truly was some demand for a multichannel relay module, we have a little something to offer instead.
