A control WebApp with VirtualHub for Web

By mvuilleu, in Internet of Things and Programming, december 12,2025.

Yoctopuce products enable you - among other things - to remotely control a device via the Internet. What's special about the Yoctopuce solution is that it's not based on a proprietary infrastructure, which could shut down any day and render all these systems inoperable, as has already happened far too often. Yoctopuce offers remote control tools which you are free to install on the host of your choice, and which you can move to another host in a few years' time if need be...

Running on an antique (Windows XP)

By seb december 06,2025.

For most people, Windows XP is dead and buried. However, as we already mentionned, there are still machines running XP, and as we make it a point of honour to support older operating systems for as long as reasonably possible, we decided to check whether our C++ library could still be recompiled to run on an OS that has not been supported for over 10 years. As we shall see, it is possible, but there are several pitfalls to avoid...

Three new USB-C modules

This week, Yoctopuce announces not two, but three new modules in USB-C format. They are the Yocto-Proximity-C, the Yocto-0-10V-Tx-C, and the Yocto-MaxiPowerRelay-C. Let's not waste time and let's take a closer look.

Improving the Yocto-Volt and the Yocto-Amp

By mvuilleu, in Measures and New stuff, november 21,2025.

Yoctopuce offers a number of products which can measure alternating current, including measures on the mains. To achieve sufficient accuracy in this case, the older modules apply a sliding average over several seconds. This week, we're releasing a firmware enhancement for these modules to prevent averaging from slowing down the detection of power on events.

AutoGain mode added to the Yocto-Spectral(-C)

By Tiago, in New stuff, november 14,2025.

Since the release of the Yocto-Spectral and Yocto-Spectral-C, several people have been able to get their hands on this module, which enables color recognition and a measure of the light spectrum in the visible and near-infrared range. We were quickly asked if it would be possible to add an AutoGain mode, to automatically adjust gain as a function of brightness, in order to increase the dynamic range of usable measures.
