Re: Upgrading PC from Windows 7, 32 bit to Win 11, 64 bit

Phidget21 does still function in Windows 11 64-bit. However, we are no longer actively supporting it. I would expect that your existing application should just work on the new PC - just make sure you have phidget21.dll (of the correct architecture) and phidget21.net.dll in the same folder as your ex...

Re: SBC3 system software update problem

Looks like a network issue, the SBC can't find a route to phidgets.com. Are you just using DHCP on the SBC? Does it have a proper IP address? Is it connected to the internet? I'm able to upgrade older SBCs here, so It's not a phidgets.com issue. Your SBC may be having deeper issue considering that y...

Re: Segfault with Python/Linux

Hi,

What Phidgets are you using? Can you share a code sample that causes the crash?

Re: using phidgets in a unity app on ios

I don't know a lot about how unity works. It's .NET based? Our .NET library isn't currently compatible with iOS because of how native imports need to be done in .NET on iOS. You should be able to link against libphidget22.a for iOS and create your own native bindings in C# to call in to the C API, u...

Re: Sharp IR Distance Sensor

If you open it in voltage ratio mode, what range of values are you getting?

The formula for converting voltage ratio to distance is:

Distance (cm) = 9.462 \ (VoltageRatio - 0.01692)

This formula is only valid for VoltageRatio between 0.08 and 0.49.

Re: Wireless VINT hub5000 and No Network Phidgets Detected

Hi,

You could have a look in the HUB5000 system and network server logs for any errors.

Is your network, or PC configured to block multicast mDNS packets? I'm not sure what else could be causing the issue.

Re: Wireless VINT hub5000 and No Network Phidgets Detected

Server discovery relies on Bonjour being installed and running. Can you confirm whether Bonjour is installed on your Windows machine and that the Bonjour service is running?

In the windows control panel, if you go to help->logs, are there any DNS-SD / mDNS related messages/errors?

Re: PhidgetInterfaceKit - Device In Use

Try running the control panel as admin. If will print the name of the other program using the Phidget in the error message if it has access to.

Re: connection issue "device is in use"

The USB VINT Hub as a whole, and any devices plugged into it, can only be accessed from a single program. If you need to control individual VINT devices pluged into a hub from different programs, you need to use the Phidget Network Server locally and open remote.
