The quest for the perfect USB battery, part 4

By martinm, in Reviews, november 15,2024.

The last time we broached the subject, we found a USB battery from WaveShare that could power experiments based on Yoctopuce modules with quite respectable performance: 19 days of continuous use. But we're not giving up just yet. This week, we're turning our attention to products from Voltaic Systems: if the specifications published on their website are anything to go by, there's a good chance that their USB batteries work exactly the way we want them to.

Today we present an application for the Yocto-RS485-V2, for which we provided assistance to one of our customers. The aim is to collect data measured by a Gill WindSonic ultrasonic wind sensor, and extract key values in accordance with World Meteorological Organization (WMO) standards.
