Preamble about the OS.

We recommend the following languages for this OS:

Installing Libraries and Drivers

You can download the newest source below:

Phidgets requires Linux Kernel 2.6 or newer.

Once you've downloaded the source, build Phidget21.

There is no Control Panel written for Linux, but there are C/C++ and Java code samples are available for all Phidgets which will compile and run on Linux without modification.

Notes:

  • Many Linux systems are now built with unsupported third party drivers. It may be necessary to uninstall these drivers for our libraries to work properly.
  • Phidget21 for Linux is a user-space library. Applications typically have to be run as root, or udev/hotplug must be configured to give permissions when the Phidget is plugged in.
