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.

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:
