USB Sensors and Actuators

Yoctopuce designs, manufactures and sells USB devices to let your computer sit in the real world. Our USB modules are tiny, easy to install and easy to drive programmatically. Among them you will find:

Yocto-Bridge

USB device to accurately measure a ratiometric signal as produced by a load cell, strain gauge or other sensor with a Wheatstone bridge output. The device includes zero-tracking, temperature compensation, and a built-in data logger.

Building a machine status-indicating light

If you've ever visited a factory equipped with CNC machines, you may have noticed that each of them is usually topped by a curious light post. Far from being a gimmick, these indicators enable operators to check at a glance the status of each machine in the fleet, for example: "running", "error", "work completed/free". At Yoctopuce, we happen to need a similar system, but in miniature. Naturally, we decided to build it ourselves.

The new Yocto-Watt-V2 (with USB C)

Today, we present a product that has been in gestation at Yoctopuce for over two years: the Yocto-Watt-V2-C. It took so long because we didn't just put a USB Type C connector on the Yocto-Watt. We've taken the opportunity to add some significant improvements to the product, making it an even more interesting measuring instrument than its predecessor.
