Yocto-PWM-Rx enhancements

The Yocto-PWM-Rx is an isolated USB module for measuring various types of periodic signals. A few years ago, we wrote a post summarizing the various possibilities and explaining how to configure the module for each of them. Despite this, we still occasionally receive questions from users who are surprised by some of the module's behavior. So we went back to the drawing board to try and improve it.

Python venvs and the Yoctopuce library

Our customers widely use the Python language, particularly on the Raspberry Pi. One of Python's strengths is the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository, which makes it easy to use a large number of libraries, including the Yoctopuce library. However, some recent Linux distributions block the use of this repository if not using a venv.
