Who's let their coffee get cold (again)?

Yoctopuce has a self-service coffee machine. To get a coffee, all you have to do is walk over to the machine, place your cup underneath, press a button and wait. This wait can sometimes be a little long, because the machine has to grind a dose of coffee beans and possibly heat up if it hasn't been used for a few hours. It therefore happens quite often that the "customer" goes off to do something else while waiting, and forgets to come back for his coffee, which will be found cold by the next "customer". To put an end to this rather dumb waste, we've found a solution thanks to the brand new Yocto-RFID-15693.

Using Yoctopuce sensors in HWiNFO

While browsing the Internet, we came across a post on the HWiNFO forum asking whether Yoctopuce modules could be used in the HWiNFO software. This isn't the case by default, but as we like to be of service to our users, we've written a little Python script that adds this functionality.
