Yoctopuce modules: from production to shipping

By Tiago, in Misc, april 01,2022.

About 10 years ago, we showed you in three posts how USB modules are borne at Yoctopuce, from the prototype to production. Today, we present the last stages of production: the soldering of the through components, which is now also automated, the preparation of the modules and, finally, the shipping of the orders placed by our customers.

Yoctopuce enclosures and logos

By martinm, in Misc, march 18,2022.

If you have read this post dating from 2012, you know that from 10 items onwards, you can have your own logo engraved on your single width enclosures, and this free of charge. Well, as it happens, Yoctopuce no longer offers this engraving service... instead we offer a printing service...

The REST interface of the Yoctopuce modules

The most experienced Yoctopuce module users know that they all host a mini web server that enables you to control them. Usually, we use the Yoctopuce library to communicate with the modules, but it is sometimes useful to directly use HTTP requests to drive the Yoctopuce modules. Today, we're sharing some secrets about this feature.

Using inertial sensors in a vehicle

By mvuilleu, in Measures and Misc, february 11,2022.

MEMS inertial sensors used in products such as the Yocto-Inclinometer or the Yocto-3D-V2 can determine their orientation with regards to terrestrial gravity, like an electronic spirit level. It is tempting to use them to measure the orientation of moving objects, such as vehicles, but it's not as easy as we might hope. Here are some explanations on the difficulties one might expect, as a reminder of your kinematic physics courses...

A canary to detect network intruders

By mvuilleu, in Misc, december 31,2021.

Every now and then, security experts discover new vulnerabilities that affect the security of many computer systems. The month of December 2021 was the occasion of a good example, with the flaw in the log4j library which allows the remote execution of arbitrary code on vulnerable systems. Noting that it seems impossible to definitively guard against this type of problem, we wondered whether the Yoctopuce modules could help detect intrusions before it is too late...
