An Excel RTD Server for Yoctopuce sensors

By mvuilleu, in Measures and Programming, august 29,2014.

Almost two years ago, we showed you how to access Yoctopuce devices from Excel by creating your own Excel add-in using Excel-DNA. Today we are going to show something simpler and even better: read any Yoctopuce sensor from Excel, with instant live refresh, without even recompiling a single line of code...

Sending keystrokes from sensor data

By mvuilleu, in Programming, june 06,2014.

The best way to use our devices is to leverage our programming API, available for most programming languages. But there is also a trick to use our sensors to interface existing applications for which you don't have the source code, by emulating keyboard input. If you are building a flight simulator deck or simply try to improve an old-fashioned data entry form interface, this is worth giving a look...

Yoctopuce is now available in Maven

Thanks to this, it's now possible to use the Yoctopuce library in a Maven project by adding only three fields in an xml file :-)

New data logger and graphs under Android

By Sébastien Rinsoz, in Programming, Measures and Android, february 17,2014.

Last week, we used the new version of the library to trace a dynamic graph in C# .NET. At that time, we saw that the new Datalogger API and the TimedReport made the work a lot easier. This week, we are going to develop a small Android application that also traces a graph from the datalogger and from current values. But we are going to see that things are a little more complex under Android ...
