Would you like USB C devices ?

For as long as we've been selling USB peripherals, we've taken great care to keep connectivity consistent across all our products, and to preserve module features when we need to make a new version. 13 years ago, the USB micro-B connector was just starting to make its mark, so we adopted it right from the start. Today, however, it's starting to be replaced by USB type-C, and we have to ask ourselves whether or when our products should migrate to USB C for their connectors. Give us your input !

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

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.
