You can use a Phidget in code by essentially by:
- Opening it,
- Setting it up,
- Doing things with it (like reading data), and
- Closing it.
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}}}.
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 API Overview which describes the set of calls common to all Phidgets, or
- The Device API page for calls available only on your specific Phidget.
