Welcome to using Phidgets with C! By using C, you will have access to the complete Phidget22 API, including events.
 
GCC is a compiler system for originally written for GNU, and is the standard compiler on unix-like operating systems like Linux. It allows compilation of C programs from the command line.

==Using the Code Samples==
To use the code sample from the [{{server}}/?view=code_samples&lang=C Code Samples] page, you can click the '''Download Example''' button to download a C file with the sample code.

Once you have the example, you can compile and run your code:
 
==Compile and Run==
 
To compile C programs, you will need gcc. You likely have gcc installed on your Linux machine already, but if not, you can easily get it by entering the following command in the terminal:
<syntaxhighlight lang='C'>
apt-get install gcc
</syntaxhighlight>
 
To compile the program, enter the following command in the terminal, substituting "example" for the name of your C file:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
gcc example.c -o example -lphidget22
</syntaxhighlight>
 
After compiling, you can run the program by entering the following command in the terminal:
<syntaxhighlight lang='bash'>
./example
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Success! The project now has access to Phidgets.
