Re: RGB LED lights

For signage, LEDs are very popular. To be able to custom control each RGB light would be useful. In general, arduino has opened a pathway to a lot of hobbyist projects that could use phidget components. This is a growing market. Maybe your current customer base is iot-internal engineer types. It is ...

Re: Getting Started with Python and Debian

Thanks, I watched the video before... Code samples are more valuable: ch = VoltageRatioInput() ch.setIsHubPortDevice(1) ch.setDeviceSerialNumber(496910) ch.setHubPort(2) ch.setChannel(0) and ch = VoltageInput() ch.setIsHubPortDevice(1) ch.setDeviceSerialNumber(496910) ch.setHubPort(2) ch.setChannel(...

Re: Getting Started with Python and Debian

Okay, so if I plug in 1112 into a known port, e.g., Channel 0, Hub Port 2, how do I capture its voltage as a handler? It says it is handled by VoltageRatio Input, so I tried python3 VoltageRatio.py but it will not obvious "attach" based on the stream of this topic... I tried to add the fol...

Re: Getting Started with Python and Debian

Thanks for the responses... I want to take your sample examples and build standalone mini-apps with logging functionality. So the example python3 Encoder.py does some default methods to determine the device to capture data on, in this case Channel 0, Port 3. Waiting for the Phidget Encoder Object to...

Re: Getting Started with Python and Debian

I don't see "PhidgetManager" ported to python. https://www.phidgets.com/?view=code_samples&lang=Python Is it the "Manager" python script? Or is it a service level script compiled like the gcc example used during install? Or is it the "API" that I have to create my o...

Re: RGB LED lights

@mparadis, Thanks for the updated response. I am new to this platform and what to see if this is the best solution to get EE devices to communicate effectively via USB. So far, I am liking what I see. Please let me know the protocols associated with roadmaps and priorities for future "New Phidg...

Re: RGB LED lights

Thanks for the reply. I understand your 5M single color can be cut to length and utilized. The meat of the suggested "New Phidget Idea" was for controllable RGB lights for every light in the sequence. There's currently no simple way for Phidgets to interface with the typical WS2812 or Neop...
