Getting Started with macOS

Welcome to using Phidgets with macOS!

Phidget22 is supported on macOS 10.11 and newer.

To get started, install our libraries.

Quick Downloads

Install

To begin, select which version of our installer to use:

  • Installer
    • Recommended for most users.
    • Installs Phidget development libraries globally for use in C, Java or Max.
    • Includes the Phidget Control Panel and the Phidget Network Server.
  • Standalone
    • Optional for simpler setups (requires macOS 10.15 or newer).
    • Self contained Application; no installer.
    • Includes the Phidget Control Panel and the Phidget Network Server.

Open up the installer, and double click on Phidgets.pkg to install the libraries:

macOS Install

When prompted, continue with the installation:

macOS Install

If you are using macOS 10.13 or newer you will also need to give explicit permission for the driver to function. You can read about this here[1].

The Phidgets libraries are now installed on your machine. Next, let's verify that the Phidget libraries are working properly.

Verify

The best way to verify that your libraries are working properly is to use the Phidget Control Panel. The Phidget Control Panel is a powerful tool that will help you develop your Phidgets applications. Get started by following the instructions below:


Open Finder and navigate to the Phidget Control Panel in the Applications list:

macOS Finder Apps


Double click on the Phidgets icon to bring up the Phidget Control Panel. You can now see all the Phidgets that are plugged into your machine, as well as any Phidgets that are on the network:

macOS Control Panel General


Click on the arrow beside a device to expand it so that you can see all available channels. Double click on one of these channels to open up a window that lets you interact with it.

macOS Control Panel Channel


The Phidget Control Panel can be used for testing devices, updating firmware, enabling a network server, and more! Visit the Phidget Control Panel page if you want to delve a little deeper.

Your Phidget is now able to communicate with your development machine. The next step is selecting a programming language so you can start to write some code!

Programming

Ready to write some code? Select one of the programming languages below:

C C# Python Java JavaScript
