A WordPress plugin for Yoctopuce sensors

By mvuilleu, in Measures, Internet of Things and Programming, november 06,2015.

We designed the Yoctopuce sensors so that you can easily integrate them in all kinds of computer systems: connecting them to a computer, to an Android phone, or even to a web server. On this latter point, we have so far discussed web integration examples destined to seasoned programmers, working directly in PHP or in Java. Today, we discuss a solution which is simpler to implement for web developers using the WordPress platform.

This week, we publish a new version of the Java library. This new version comes with a new feature: native USB access. From now on, you can access the USB ports without running the VirtualHub.

An NMEA server on TCP for Yoctopuce modules

By mvuilleu, in Programming, september 25,2015.

One of our customers wants to integrate our sensors with software designed for standardized NMEA over TCP/IP sensors (NMEA stands for National Marine Electronic Association). Roughly, a NMEA sensor spontaneously sends its measures at a regular interval, in the shape of a line of text with values separated by commas. The simplest solution is thus to create a small TCP gateway reading any of our USB sensors and periodically sending the measures over TCP to each connected client. As this approach can be useful to others, we coded a short example.

Yoctopuce and Unity 5

Several customers asked us recently whether one could use our modules with the Unity game engine. As we had absolutely no experience with this environment, we decided to give it a try and to let you know the result...

Using the JavaScript library from our web site

A few months ago, we showed you how to create a web page hosted directly on a YoctoHub. While writing this post, we thought that we could still improve the ease of use of our JavaScript library.
