The Yocto-Demo Effect

By martinm, in Misc, march 29,2012.

You have perhaps noticed that, for some time already, it hasn't been possible to order the Yocto-Demo anymore. The Yocto-Demo was conceived as a marketing experiment designed to discover potential customers and to allow them to discover us. We thought that you'd be interested in knowing the first results of this experiment.

Lets evaluate the situation

Yoctopuce company started 8 eight months ago, and the online shop is still closed. You may be wondering what we are doing. Well, to make it simple: we are almost there. Organizing and building all this stuff just took twice the time that we expected. More details after the break.

Update (dec 13): Here we are, the shop is now open !

Yoctopuce, who cares ?

By mvuilleu, in Misc, august 21,2011.

Our products are intended for 3 categories of users: professional developers, hobbyists and the education sector.

To the professional developers, we offer high-quality products that make it simple to interface software with the real world. Our USB sensors, USB inputs, and USB controllers can be integrated into existing projects without hassle: we provide all the source code necessary to drive them, without relying on a third-party library or driver. Our USB products are all driver-free. We hope that such products will contribute to the vsnishing of all these unreliable serial-emulation based USB interfaces that are still so frequently found in professional products.

Yoctopuce, why ?

We thought we have to tell you about why there is this web site in front of you.

We founded Yoctopuce to build something we could not find anywhere: itsy-bitsy USB devices to fix all problems of the universe when we get an idea about it. "You only need a way to power up a pump, and then when someone is moving past it, it will fire that thingy and then...". And then nothing at all, because once you got the pump and the thingy, both ended up in a cupboard since we never had the time to finish the circuit that drive them. You cannot figure how many thingies we have in our cupboards...
