Inclinometer tests

By mvuilleu, in Measures and Reviews, february 14,2020.

For some applications, the Yocto-3D and the Yocto-3D-V2 can be used as inclinometers, as they can estimate their spatial orientation. But you may have noticed that we don't provide any accuracy information on the inclination measure in the specifications. To know more, we are going to compare these two modules today with the Murata SCL3300 precision inclinometer that we interfaced last week with a Yocto-SPI.

Driving Yoctopuce modules with Flic buttons

By martinm, in Internet of Things and Reviews, may 31,2019.

After the NEEO remote control fiasco, we decided to get over it by playing with Flic buttons, the aim obviously being to use these buttons to drive Yoctopuce modules. This week, we present the results of our experiments on this topic...

USB cables: shielding matters as well...

By mvuilleu, in Reviews and Electronics, december 14,2018.

Six years ago, we wrote a post on the influence of the electric resistance of USB cables on the proper working of peripheral devices. Today, we are going to talk about a little-known related problem, which drove us to change our USB cable provider: the shielding of USB cables.

Test of the GT-521F52 fingerprint reader

By martinm, in Reviews and Programming, april 27,2018.

We discovered somewhat by chance the ADH-Tech GT-521F52 fingerprint reader. As it is really affordable, less than fifty US dollars, we decided to buy one two, to see what we could do with it.

Device tests at very low temperatures

By mvuilleu, in Reviews and Electronics, december 29,2017.

Now that we finally have our small dry ice freezer, we were able to perform systematic measures of cold endurance for our sensors and transmitters. So here are the tests that we performed and the results.
