Automated brightness control for the Raspberry Pi

By martinm, in DIY and Programming, july 27,2018.

Among the accessories available for the Raspberry Pi, the TFT touch display is quite interesting. By combining it with a dedicated enclosure, one gets a tiny all-in-one computer, well suited to monitor various sensors. We like it even more since our YoctoVisualization app now runs on Linux :-) There is only one minor issue with it: brightness control...

Phase control using the Yocto-PWM-Tx

By mvuilleu, in New stuff, july 20,2018.

When we added some new features to the Yocto-PWM-Tx three month ago, a customer reminded us that he had also made a suggestion for improvement, regarding the synchronization between the two output channels. So we have kept our word, and this has now been implemented as well. Let's see how this works...

Level monitoring and leak detection

By mvuilleu, in Measures, july 13,2018.

On these hot Summer days, we propose to discuss today two classical topics of remote monitoring: monitoring the level of a tank and detecting water leaks (or other liquid leaks). For these two applications, we are going to show you how you can interface existing sensors with Yoctopuce modules.

Yocto-Visualization V2 on Linux

By martinm, in Measures and New stuff, july 06,2018.

Stripping the Yocto-Visualization V2 application of all third party libraries has an interesting side effect: one may try to compile it with Mono and make it run on operating systems other than Windows. So we tried to make a Linux version... and it works!

Counting with a Yocto-Bridge

By seb, in Android, july 01,2018.

A few weeks ago, we implemented a hanging scale and, to do so, we wrote a short Android application which displayed the weight. This week, we are improving this application so that it can also automatically count the number of objects on the scale depending on a reference value.
