Yoctopuce, USB Sensors and Actuators

USB Sensors and Actuators

Yoctopuce designs, manufactures and sells USB devices to let your computer sit in the real world. Our USB modules are tiny, easy to install and easy to drive programmatically. Among them you will find:

Yocto-4-20mA-Rx

Small USB module to read very accurately the output of two 4-20mA sensors. The device can convert the current measure to the equivalent physical measure on the fly, and includes a built-in data logger.

Yocto-3D

USB device featuring a 3D accelerometer, a 3D gyroscope and a 3D magnetometer. This device can measure directly the 2D inclination, the magnetic orientation and provide a 3D orientation estimate based on inertial measurements.

Yocto-ColorLedCluster integration for Home Assistant

We've written a number of posts on Home Assistant, but for the most part they've been about retrieving measured values out of our modules. This week we experiment with Home Assistant integrations and how to use the Python library in an integration.

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.
