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 .

Driving the DPS5005 power supply with the Yoctopuce API

By martinm, in DIY, february 19,2021.

For our own purposes, we had to make a small do-it-yourself device that would allow us to change on demand the voltage on a USB cable. Given the success that our DIY based on the Ruideng RD6006 power supply gets on a daily basis, we thought that we could also give this opportunity to its little sister, the DPS5005 power supply.

A light sensor for a connected cat flap

A few months ago, a small feline has taken up residence next to Yoctopuce and sometimes comes to visit. So that it can come in and out freely during the day, we installed a microchip cat flap which we can control remotely. When we installed it, we thought that there was bound to be some interesting tinkering that we could do with the cat flap and some Yoctopuce modules, and there we are...

RD6006: adding a wired network connection

For one of our experiments, we needed a laboratory power supply, that we could easily move around and that we could drive remotely through a wired network connection. At Yoctopuce, hardware-wise, we tend to bet on the best known manufacturers, but this time we decided to give the RD6006 a chance...

Reed switches, magnets, and Yocto-PWM-Rx

A customer recently contacted Yoctopuce support to ask why his DIY tachometer didn't work with a Yocto-PWM-Rx. We looked into it and, to our surprise, we discovered that generating a clean PWM signal with a magnet and a reed switch was not as easy as one could think.
