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.

These steps are generally outlined for all devices and languages on the [[General Phidget Programming]] page.  The [[General Phidget Programming]] page also introduces using the Phidget in an event-driven manner or in a traditional manner, {{{1}}}.
To learn the details behind opening, configuring, using, and closing your Phidget, try the [[General Phidget Programming]] page.  That page also describes using the Phidget in an event-driven manner and in a traditional manner, {{{1}}}.
 
The ''complete'' set of functions you have available for all Phidgets can be found in the {{{2}}}. 
 
If you are looking for more information about a particular function, we provide that as well.  You can find more description on any function either in:
# Our [[General API|API Overview]] which describes the set of calls common to all Phidgets, or
# The [[Device List|Device API]] page for calls available only on your specific Phidget.
