About programming examples

By martinm, in For the beginners and Programming, january 12,2018.

From time to time, Yoctopuce support receives emails from customers who complain that the examples provided with the Yoctopuce programming libraries don't work. We don't pretend to believe that our code is 100% error free, but it is clear that, most of the time, the problem comes from a misunderstanding about how these examples work. This week, we are going to clarify this issue.

Adapting monitor brightness automatically

By seb, in Programming and Misc, december 08,2017.

This week, we are implementing a program suggested by one of our customers: Using the Windows API to adapt the brightness of a monitor depending on the ambient light. Most laptops already do that, but desktops don't because they don't have a light sensor. We are going to use a Yocto-Light-V3 to determine the ambient light.

Using the EcmaScript library in a WebExtension

By seb, in Programming, october 06,2017.

For an internal project, we had to write an extension for Firefox which had to interact with a Yoctopuce module. As extensions are written in JavaScript, we were able to use our EcmaScript library. We thought that other people could be interested and this week we show you how to implement a WebExtension displaying the temperature of a Yocto-Meteo in your browser icon bar.

Serial transmission and snooping

By martinm, in Programming, september 29,2017.

As you may know, you can record what happens on a serial line with the Yocto-RS232. It's very useful when you want to perform reverse engineering on an unknown communication protocol. Until now, the method that allowed us to do this was a bit rough. This week, we present a new, more user-friendly, API function as well as a small application that uses it.
