You can learn about the flow and the functions within the examples by reading about General Phidget Programming, which will walk you through the concepts in each example, regardless of your device or language.

The examples for each device all have this general structure so you can follow along:


// ----- Event Functions -----

Create any Language-Specific Functions (exception handling)

Create General Attach, Detach, and Error Handling Functions

On attach: Initialize hardware (antennas, etc)
On detach: Reset any state variables

Create Hardware-Specific Functions

Print messages to notify they are called
Perform minor accompanying changes (turn on LED, etc)
