Testing the SenseCap S700 V2 weather station
A few weeks ago, we presented the Yocto-SDI12 which communicates with SDI-12 sensors. Today, we're going to use the Yocto-SDI12 to retrieve measures from Seed Studio's integrated SenseCAP S700 V2 weather station and display them using Yocto-Visualization for Web.

Testing the TR-EVO-60M-I2C rangefinder
More or less by chance, we came across the TR-EVO-60M-I2C rangefinder manufactured by TeraBee. It promises a detection distance of 0.5 to 60 meters with a viewing angle of 2°. All this in the volume of a 3cm cube with an I2C and serial interface. At around 100 CHF apiece, we couldn't resist buying one to play with.

Testing Sensirion's STC31 CO2 sensor
Yoctopuce has been offering a CO2 sensor for some time now. The current model, the Yocto-C02-V2, has a measure range of 0-40000ppm, or 0-4%. This is sufficient for most common applications. But what if you need to measure higher concentrations? Sensirion now offers the STC31 sensor with a measure range from 0 to 100%.

Seeed Studio's reTerminal screen
For several years now, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has been marketing 7-inch screens into which you can install a Raspberry Pi (sold separately) to create an all-in-one system. At Yoctopuce, we even have several that we use every day to monitor various experiments. But when we stumbled across SeeedStudio's reTerminal, we were keen to test it out to see if it could be used as an alternative.

USB-C rechargeable AA batteries, really?
While shopping at one of our usual suppliers, we came across an intriguing gadget: AA batteries, with an integrated USB-C charging port and which promise a capacity of 1600mAh for a 1.5V voltage. We couldn't resist the temptation to buy a pack, just to check if an AA battery with an integrated charger really works.
