This page presents the general concepts needed to write code for a Phidget.

By this point, you should have installed the drivers for your operating system and the libraries for your specific programming language.



Phidget Programming Basics - Here you can find the basic concepts to help you get started with making your own programs that use Phidgets.


Data Interval/Change Trigger - Learn about these two properties that control how much data comes in from your sensors.


Using Multiple Phidgets - It can be difficult to figure out how to use more than one Phidget in your program. This page will guide you through the steps.


Polling vs. Events - Your program can gather data in either a polling-driven or event-driven manner. Learn the difference to determine which is best for your application.


Logging, Exceptions, and Errors - Learn about all the tools you can use to debug your program.


Phidget Network Service - Phidgets can be controlled and communicated with over your network- either wirelessly or over ethernet.
