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.

Preamble about the language's origin and its main characteristics.
Support
LabVIEW has a complete API and code samples for all Phidgets devices.
For a complete list of our supported languages and their support status, click here.
- Our honest opinion on how well this language is suited to controlling Phidgets. If it is a poor choice, suggest and link similar (better) languages.
- In this section, list any restrictions or limitations that this particular language may impose. For example, incompatibility with certain operating systems.
Development Environments and Compilers
Describe each major compiler and notable differences or important information. (eg. framework versions) If there are known issues/workarounds mention them and link to the corresponding issue at the bottom of the page.
Quick Downloads
Before you can run your program, you need to set up the proper environment and get the necessary files off the Phidgets website. Visit the drivers section at www.phidgets.com and get the latest:
You will need the Phidget Framework to use and to program with Phidgets. We also recommend that you download the following reference materials:
- API Manual
- API Reference
- LabVIEW Sample Code:
- You can find a high level discussion about programming with Phidgets in general on the General API page.
- The Device Functionality page explains the general operational information for your device.
You may want to have these pages open while working through these instructions.
Getting Started
Here we provide a basic setup guide and code samples to start a project from scratch.
Building your Project
Describe the different ways a project could be built using this language.
Common Problems and Solutions/Workarounds
Here you can put various frequent problems and our recommended solutions.
Known Issues:
Phidgets do not always work cleanly in Labview. Sometimes they do not appear, sometimes they work veeerrryyy slowly. No known fixes yet, hopefully soon.
