Using a Yocto-Watt as energy meter

By mvuilleu, in Measures and New stuff, july 24,2020.

The Yocto-Watt is a small module which is very convenient to measure by USB the voltage, the current, and the instantaneous real power of an electric circuit. As it is also able to integrate the power to compute the total energy for a given lapse of time, some users also employ it to measure the energy that a system consumes, and we have recently improved this feature.

New features for our serial interfaces

By mvuilleu, in New stuff, july 04,2020.

Yoctopuce serial interfaces can do much more then standard USB to serial adapters. One of their features which is not well known is their ability to record a communication, including the time interval between messages. To help you take the most out of it, we have just improved the user interface of these devices.

A Yoctopuce Toolbox for MATLAB (Beta version)

By mvuilleu, in New stuff and Programming, may 29,2020.

Some time ago, we told you that you could use our .NET Proxy library with MATLAB. We decided to dig a little deeper into the subject to see if we could make this MATLAB support official. While doing so, we realized that we could do even better by creating native MATLAB classes. So today, we present you our brand new Yoctopuce Toolbox for MATLAB, in Beta version.

New! The Yocto-MaxiBuzzer

By martinm, in New stuff, may 05,2020.

The Yocto-Buzzer is a very practical module when you want to do some signalling, such as making a confirmation beep. However, as many customers relayed it to us, its limited power prevents you from using it as an sound alarm: it is difficult to hear it in a noisy room. Never mind that, this week we present the brand new Yocto-MaxiBuzzer.

New! Yocto-GPS-V2

By martinm, in New stuff, march 06,2020.

This week, we announce the arrival of the Yocto-GPS-V2. It's roughly a Yocto-GPS, with the Galileo reception added on. The most attentive among you may ask why a Galileo compatible V2, while we had suggested that a firmware update should be enough to add Galileo support later on to our Yocto-GPS V1. Well, not everything worked as planned...
