Improving the Yocto-Volt and the Yocto-Amp

By mvuilleu, in Measures and New stuff, november 21,2025.

Yoctopuce offers a number of products which can measure alternating current, including measures on the mains. To achieve sufficient accuracy in this case, the older modules apply a sliding average over several seconds. This week, we're releasing a firmware enhancement for these modules to prevent averaging from slowing down the detection of power on events.

AutoGain mode added to the Yocto-Spectral(-C)

By Tiago, in New stuff, november 14,2025.

Since the release of the Yocto-Spectral and Yocto-Spectral-C, several people have been able to get their hands on this module, which enables color recognition and a measure of the light spectrum in the visible and near-infrared range. We were quickly asked if it would be possible to add an AutoGain mode, to automatically adjust gain as a function of brightness, in order to increase the dynamic range of usable measures.

Checking a torque wrench with a Yocto-Bridge

This week we made a test bench for a torque wrench. We used a Yocto-Bridge with a static torque sensor.

New: Yocto-Maxi-IO-V3-C and Yocto-LatchingRelay-C

Once again this week, Yoctopuce announces two new USB Type-C conversions: Yocto-Maxi-IO-V3-C and Yocto-LatchingRelay-C. Let's take a quick look...

Measuring noise and sound loudness

By mvuilleu, in Measures and Reviews, october 24,2025.

A sound pressure sensor, or noise sensor, is one of those sensors that we've been asked for several times, but don't yet offer. The small on-board processors we use in our modules don't have the computing power to make this measurement, and until now we haven't found an external component we could integrate that met our quality criteria. But there is hope that this will change...
