Electromagnetic compatibility tests

By mvuilleu, in Reviews and Electronics, september 18,2015.

Those of you who have read our general terms and conditions know that Yoctopuce modules are not certified for any governmental compatibility standard (CE, FCC, and so on). As they are specialized components designed to be used in a larger system, and not end products for the general public, this is not strictly necessary to sell them in Switzerland. Nevertheless, we wanted to perform some measures to know where we stand with regard to these standards. So we visited a specialized laboratory with some of our modules ...

We briefly tested the Intel Galileo board a few weeks ago. This made us want to test the latest from Intel, that is the Edison. This thing is literally a Linux x86 PC, with the size of a stamp. We really wanted to know if it was possible to use it to drive Yoctopuce modules. Indeed, its size makes it particularly interesting for any embedded system. So we bought one and we played with it...

Light sensors comparison

By mvuilleu, in Reviews, New stuff and Measures, january 23,2015.

Some time ago, we had to stop making the Yocto-Light because the OSRAM light sensor that we used on this module stopped being produced. As a replacement, we now offer two products: the Yocto-Light-V2, more reactive, based on an AVAGO sensor, and the Yocto-Light-V3, truer to the human eye, based on a ROHM sensor. Let's see how they compare...
