Getting Started
Environment and Libraries
First, we 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 program with Phidgets. We also recommend that you download the following reference materials:
- .NET API Manual
- Programming Manual
- The Product Manual for your device
- Example Programs written in C# [Windows] [.NET Compact Framework]
The .NET API manual lists calls and events for every type of Phidget and can be used as a reference. You can find a high level discussion about programming with Phidgets in general in the Programming Manual. The Product manual for your device also contains an API section that describes limitations, defaults, and implementation details specific to your Phidget. You may want to have these manuals open while working through these instructions.
Building your Project
Describe the different ways a project could be build using this language.
Common Problems and Solutions/Workarounds
Here you can put various frequent problems and our recommended solutions.
API Reference
This language uses the XYZ API, which can be found here.
