Dinner is ready!

By seb, in Programming and DIY, november 03,2024.

At Yoctopuce, some of our developers have teenagers who love video games. At mealtimes, it's sometimes very often difficult to unhook them from their computers, especially when they're playing with headphones. This week, we're going to try and solve this problem the Yoctopuce way.

Upcycling an old fan

By mvuilleu, in DIY, Internet of Things and Measures, september 27,2024.

Almost ten years ago, we showed you how to combat humidity in a room using humidity-controlled ventilation. The system described had just then been installed in a cellar, where it worked efficiently until very recently. Unfortunately, the discovery of mold alerted us to a problem, and a quick check revealed that the system had broken down: the fan controlling the air intake had died.

RFID and key management

By martinm, in Programming and DIY, may 23,2024.

In the past, we've been asked several times whether it was possible to build a key management system based on Yoctopuce modules.

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

By martinm, in DIY, may 03,2024.

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.
