The quest for the perfect USB battery, part 3
This week, we continue our series on the search for the ideal battery to power Yoctopuce modules, especially when driven by a YoctoHub which can go into sleep mode. This is important, because standard USB batteries have the unfortunate habit of shutting down completely as soon as the hub goes to sleep. After the success of variant (C) of the Waveshare Solar Power Manager battery and the fiasco of variant (B), we decided to test variant (D), just to be sure.

The quest for the perfect USB battery, part 1
10-12 years ago, you could buy a USB battery for 10-20 euros, and use it to power a Yoctopuce experiment without asking yourself too many questions. Unfortunately, today it's very hard to find a USB battery that can power a Yocto-Wireless or YoctoHub-GSM-based experiment. So we decided to invest some time, and money, in trying to find a good one.

Testing the Renesas FS3000 air speed sensor
Renesas recently released a new I2C sensor that caught our eye: a tiny miniature sensor for measuring airflow velocity. It's a measure we're interested in, because many industrial processes need well-regulated ventilation to run reproducibly, and progressive clogging of filters can significantly affect ventilation capabilities. Let's take a look at this sensor...

Testing the SenseCap S700 V2 weather station
A few weeks ago, we presented the Yocto-SDI12 which communicates with SDI-12 sensors. Today, we're going to use the Yocto-SDI12 to retrieve measures from Seed Studio's integrated SenseCAP S700 V2 weather station and display them using Yocto-Visualization for Web.
