How to efficiently read a sensor with the command line API

By seb, in Misc, november 01,2019.

Our command line library enables you to use all our modules from a terminal or in a shell script.
We have used this library several times to configure a module or perform a one-time task, but we noticed that we never yet spoke of another type of use: monitoring the values measured in a shell script.

I2C : pressure sensor and water level

By martinm, in Measures and Electronics, october 25,2019.

Thanks to the new Yocto-I2C one can basically interface any I2C device, but one can also simply use it to test any I2C device. This week we decided to use this possibility to play with Amphenol's DLHR pressure sensors.

Rechargeable batteries for autonomous systems

By mvuilleu, in Electronics, october 18,2019.

One of the complex and recurring questions that we get is the use of rechargeable batteries to power autonomous measuring systems. Using a backup battery for smart phone provides an easy solution, but adequate models for this kind of use are not that frequent. Today, we present two alternatives that you can use in specific cases.

The code was relatively simple and the users were, and still are, free to modify it to adapt it to their own needs. In the last few years, we added other interesting features, but we somewhat neglected the web interface. This week, we correct this. Here is an overview of the modifications that we performed.

New! the Yocto-I2C
