Test of the LIDAR-Lite v4

By mvuilleu, in Reviews and Measures, april 23,2021.

We have already mentioned several sensors for the detection and distance measure of nearby objects: cheap acoustic sonars, very expensive laser telemeters, and several optical sensors in between. Among those, we hadn't yet tested the Garmin LIDAR-Lite v4.

This week, we present the brand new Yocto-Light-V4. It is probably of interest to you if you need to measure the ambient light in a somewhat dark corner.

Controlling a hydronic radiator using the Yocto-0-10V-Tx

By seb, in DIY, april 12,2021.

This week we are going to see how to control the valve of a hydronic radiator remotely using a Siemens SSA61 valve, a Yocto-0-10V-Tx and a YoctoHub-Wireless-N .

Snooping on an RS485 bus

By mvuilleu, in Measures and Internet of Things, april 02,2021.

Some time ago, we explained how to query a MODBUS sensor with a Yocto-RS485-V2. But in some cases, you may want to monitor the measures which transit through a MODBUS communication without sending anything on the RS485 bus. It's also possible, and this is what we are going to explain today.

Yoctopuce and Golang

By martinm, in Programming, march 26,2021.

There are so many different programming languages that Yoctopuce obviously can't offer libraries for each of them. One of our customers happened to have a Yoctopuce module but no official library to use with it. So he did something we weren't expecting: he transformed the C++ programming example into a DLL and he coded calls to this DLL from his favorite programming language. It's really smart. This week, we are going to explain this method to interface a Yoctopuce relay from the GO programming language.
