==Language Support==


We provide a variety of supported languages for using Phidgets. Each language has its own ''libraries'', which may be found on the language pages below, along with code examples and an in-depth API.  
We provide support for a variety of programming languages. Each language has code samples for you to use as well as an in-depth API for you to reference. If you aren't sure which language to use, we recommend using one of our core languages, because they are supported under all major operating systems and have a wide user base. [[Language - Python|Python]] is a good choice for new programmers because it's quick to set up.


Many languages also depend on the ''core drivers'' being installed as well.  These drivers can be found on the [[#Operating System Support|operating system pages]] above.

== Core Languages ==
Phidgets supports the following languages.  If the language you have chosen is not fully supported with examples for all products then there are some resources available for you to fill in the gaps.  First we recommend you look at the API which will show you all of the functions you can use.  Next, you should look at the code samples that ''are'' available in that language.  Finally you should look at code samples for your device in other languages.  Between those three things you should be able to piece together what you need to be doing, as always, if you run into trouble [[Contact Us]].  If you have some flexibility in what language to use, we recommend using a '''Core Language''':

<nowiki>*</nowiki> A direct USB connection would be plugging the Phidget into a USB port and using it locally.  This is the typical way to use a Phidget.  However, some platforms (such as the iPhone platform) do not have USB ports and hence can only use a Phidget over a network, via the [[Phidget WebService]].
'''Mobile Languages'''
 
{|class="table-no-border"
<nowiki>**</nowiki> Native library support means that the calls you make to a Phidget in this language are in the language as well.  If the calls are non-native, the use of Phidgets is through an external library linker, such as callib() in MATLAB, for example.  The core Phidget library is written in C, and most other languages use this library as their core, but a 'Native' interface cleanly hides this detail.
|style="width:50px;"|[[Image:Logo-AndroidJava.png|alt=Android Java|link=Language - Java|30px]]||[[Language - Java|Java (Android)]]
 
<sup>&dagger;</sup> Most languages have code samples for all Phidgets, but some have only some devices (visit the language page to learn which ones), and some only have an Interface Kit example. The Phidget Interface Kit is a common Phidget which provides an interface with analog sensors, digital input, and digital output.  So, when we choose which examples to write, the Interface Kit is often at the top of our customer's lists.

{{GentleAlert|'''These products must be purchased directly from these companies and all support calls must be directed to them'''}}
 
Some third party companies also offer and support software programs that work with Phidgets boards. Phidgets does not have a certification program and does not make any warranty about these products.

We provide support for a variety of programming languages. Each language has code samples for you to use as well as an in-depth API for you to reference. If you aren't sure which language to use, we recommend using one of our core languages, because they are supported under all major operating systems and have a wide user base. Python is a good choice for new programmers because it's quick to set up.
