Catching log messages

By seb, in Programming, april 22,2022.

When you design an automation solution intended to last, you must think about integrating tools which you will need one day to detect failure signs or aging signs. In some cases, this goes through managing error messages or exceptions. But on top of this, there can be diagnostic information transmitted by the modules: log messages. We are going to show you here how to integrate them into your projects.

Scanning an I2C bus

We have more and more customers who use our products on Macs equipped with Apple silicon (ARM) processors. This week, we are going to look at the implications that these new systems have on our products.

Yoctopuce modules: from production to shipping

By Tiago, in Misc, april 01,2022.

About 10 years ago, we showed you in three posts how USB modules are borne at Yoctopuce, from the prototype to production. Today, we present the last stages of production: the soldering of the through components, which is now also automated, the preparation of the modules and, finally, the shipping of the orders placed by our customers.

Using a proximity sensor behind a window

But for reliable and robust use, you must respect a few implementation rules, especially if you put a protective glass in front of the sensor.
