4. First steps
By design, all Yoctopuce modules are driven the same way. Therefore, user's guides for all the
modules of the range are very similar. If you have already carefully read through the user's guide of
another Yoctopuce module, you can jump directly to the description of the module functions.
4.1. Prerequisites
In order to use your Yocto-RangeFinder module, you should have the following items at hand.
A computer
Yoctopuce modules are intended to be driven by a computer (or possibly an embedded
microprocessor). You will write the control software yourself, according to your needs, using the
information provided in this manual.
Yoctopuce provides software libraries to drive its modules for the following operating systems:
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Android. Yoctopuce modules do not require installing any specific
system driver, as they leverage the standard HID driver

provided with every operating system.
Windows versions currently supported are: Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows
7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. Both 32 bit and 64 bit versions are supported. Yoctopuce is
frequently testing its modules on Windows 7 and Windows 10.
Mac OS X versions currently supported are: 10.9 (Maverick), 10.10 (Yosemite), 10.11 (El Capitan)
and 10.12 (Sierra). Yoctopuce is frequently testing its modules on Mac OS X 10.11.
Linux kernels currently supported are the 2.6 branch, the 3.0 branch and the 4.0 branch. Other
versions of the Linux kernel, and even other UNIX variants, are very likely to work as well, as Linux
support is implemented through the standard
libusb
API. Yoctopuce is frequently testing its modules
on Linux kernel 3.19.
Android versions currently supported are: Android 3.1 and later. Moreover, it is necessary for the
tablet or phone to support the
Host
USB mode. Yoctopuce is frequently testing its modules on
Android 4.x on a Nexus 7 and a Samsung Galaxy S3 with the Java for Android library.
A USB cable, type A-micro B
USB connectors exist in three sizes: the "standard" size that you probably use to connect your
printer, the very common mini size to connect small devices, and finally the micro size often used to

The HID driver is the one that takes care of the mouse, the keyboard, etc.
