Notice: This page contains information for the legacy Phidget21 Library. Phidget21 is out of support. Bugfixes may be considered on a case by case basis. Phidget21 does not support VINT Phidgets, or new USB Phidgets released after 2020. We maintain a selection of legacy devices for sale that are supported in Phidget21. We recommend that new projects be developed against the Phidget22 Library.

Documentation Log - Language Pages Casting Roles - All Templates - All Files (Uploads)
To be rolled into Application Guides and Primers (i.e. content extracted and then pages deleted):
To Be Done
App Guides
Background Priorities:
- Clean up sentence above uses of Using a Phidget in Code General
- Language - Python - Mac OS
- And other Mac OS sections on language pages
- Language - C/C++
- Clean up Links to General API
- Code Snippets for:
- Language - C Sharp - Phi?
- ....?
- Check device API pages - no pseudo code
- Commit
- Android HelloWorld x 2
- C HelloWorld
- Java HelloWorld
- Python HelloWorld
- Figure out licenses
And, ongoing:
- Tech support additions
- Phidget Manager, and dictionary?
Completed
Newly Done:
- Cleaned wiki of link references to Phidget Webservice, replaced by Phidget WebService
- Data Logging With a Thermocouple
- Temperature Sensor Primer#Emissivity (And associated Trac bug report)
Last Week:
- Language - Python - Code Snippets
- Language - Python - Linux section
- OS - Android
- Language - Android Java
- All old (red) Manual Installation links redirected to Windows Page
- OS - OS X - Structure, with content suggestions
Older:
- Phidget WebService
- OS - Windows - Structure and content suggestions
- Language - Java - Linux section
- Template:ExamplePseudocode Change to Hello World - Java Page
Software Flow
Don't get lost!
- Getting Started for Device
- Pick Your Operating System
- Pick Your Language
- Examples, run and build
- Learn about General Phidget Programming
- Device Specific Pseudocode in API
- Code Snippets / Hello World pseudocode on Language Pages
- Write Your Own Code
- Language-specific API
- General API - TO BE DELETED
- Device Specific API
Outreach
Edgy - Mainstream - Accessible
"It's normal and cool to want to build and play"
- Mini robots driven by phone - Save money automating energy - Explore science with your kids or class - Do it exactly the way you want, customizing
Currently, how are gyros, accelerometers, GPS, etc used on phones for cool things?
Strengths of Arduino:
- Shields
- Solution: VINT can probably improve our third-party interest if we expose the HW comm API?
- Appear as not-for-profit
- Whatever. They're in it for the money. Make it clear we're in it for the coolness and fun factor.
Strengths of Sparkfun:
- Custom - Almost Digikey-level modularity
- Solution: Basic hardware with lots of different versions for different needs
Strengths of National Instruments:
- Dependability
- Solution: Advertise our calibration and spec confirmation methods
- Solution: Show many real-world uses
- Solution: VINT can maybe interface with third-party sensors?
Random Software Mess
- Language - C/C++
- Language - C Sharp
- Language - MATLAB
- Language - Python
- Language - Java
- Language - Android Java
High-Level Pages
- Software Overview
- Getting Started with Phidgets
- General Phidget Programming NOT the API (Guts) page
- General API The Guts page. No device-specific APIs. - TO BE DELETED
