You should normally power Yoctopuce modules with a voltage between 4.75V and 5.25V, which is the standard operating range for USB devices. But what happens when you go beyond these limits, even temporarily and without meaning to? What are the cases that can cause lasting damage? This is what we will explain to you...

We do intend to offer it in the future, but if in between you need to drive a stepper motor for a simple application, we may have a solution for you ...
