Tools from a bygone era

By seb, in Programming, august 16,2026.

With 15 years of history, our Libraries page and Tools page are starting to get a little cluttered. While many of these programs are still used by our customers, others are no longer relevant. So we're going to archive some software in a separate section. But don't worry, everything will still be available. Let's take stock of the situation.

By seb august 01,2026.

In 2024, we shared a brief overview of our experience using AI to code an application that used our modules. Since then, AI has made significant strides and has become even more widely accessible. We thought it would be interesting to take stock of these developments.

Testing some USB-C chargers

Now that we've converted all Yoctopuce modules to USB connectivity, we thought we'd test some USB-C chargers to see if there's anything interesting to observe. These chargers are normally sold to let you charge your various USB-C devices, but you can easily use them to power Yoctopuce experiments, especially those controlled by YoctoHubs.

Don't lock your code to a specific model name!

From day one, the Yoctopuce documentation has emphasized that the Yoctopuce API for a module and its features are intentionally decoupled, to the point where you can work with Yoctopuce features without having to worry about the module that hosts them. In other words, you don't need to look for a specific module to use any of its features. In fact, it's actually not recommended...
