Interfacing MLX90393 sensors with a Yocto-I2C

By martinm, in Programming, may 31,2024.

A customer recently asked us for help interfacing a Melexis MLX90393 magnetic field sensor with a Yocto-I2C. We figured that, if we had to do the integration work, we might as well let everyone benefit from it.

RFID and key management

By martinm, in Programming and DIY, may 23,2024.

In the past, we've been asked several times whether it was possible to build a key management system based on Yoctopuce modules. Of course, we're talking about keys for opening locks, not cryptographic keys. We did propose a modest project a few years ago, but with the arrival of Yocto-RFID-15693, we can think bigger.

Updating the Java, TypeScript, and PHP libraries

This week we review the roadmap we outlined at the start of the year. After the C++, C#, Python and VB.net libraries, we've just released version 2.0 of the Java, PHP, and TypeScript libraries. Here's a quick reminder of what's new.

Would you like USB C devices ?

By mvuilleu, in Misc, may 10,2024.

For as long as we've been selling USB peripherals, we've taken great care to keep connectivity consistent across all our products, and to preserve module features when we need to make a new version. 13 years ago, the USB micro-B connector was just starting to make its mark, so we adopted it right from the start. Today, however, it's starting to be replaced by USB type-C, and we have to ask ourselves whether or when our products should migrate to USB C for their connectors. Give us your input !

Who's let their coffee get cold (again)?

By martinm, in DIY, may 03,2024.

Yoctopuce has a self-service coffee machine. To get a coffee, all you have to do is walk over to the machine, place your cup underneath, press a button and wait. This wait can sometimes be a little long, because the machine has to grind a dose of coffee beans and possibly heat up if it hasn't been used for a few hours. It therefore happens quite often that the "customer" goes off to do something else while waiting, and forgets to come back for his coffee, which will be found cold by the next "customer". To put an end to this rather dumb waste, we've found a solution thanks to the brand new Yocto-RFID-15693.
