Phidgets Forums

I have been using a Bridge and an RFID module for many years now in a research project involving pigeons and I would like to slim down the need for controls in the interface.

I would like to eliminate the following from my UI and hard code the specific settings

1- Gain
2- Datarate

3- Possibly the actual bridge control as well since we only use one of the four available

In eyeballing the samples again where would I set these statically, The Form Load event when the bridge is connected?

Thanks as usual! I know this answer is right in front of me but visual studio is being a dumdum and dislikes any syntax I try.

You would set these in the bridge attach event callback function.

Great thanks!

Now I am hoping you can shed some light on an issue I have been having recently since upgrading to Visual studio 2012/2013...

I know the phidgets libraries are built on .Net 2.0 and is supposed to be compatible in higher runtimes IE: 3.0 4.0 4.5.1 etc. (Unless I am mistaken) I have been getting a warning saying that Phidgets.Bridge is not available in the target framework and my main for refuses to load. Heres the weird thing, If I ignore and continue sometimes it works as intended like it always has before...other times it breaks the project and none of my UI element work anymore.

In the past I would put the flag in my app config. Now this does not seem to be working...... Any idea why Visual Studio seems to hate the bridge?

I need to be running .Net 4.0 Minimum as my target framework otherwise other portions of my app break....

I seem to have resolved the issue... I went ahead and created a fresh project and imported my working forms and modules in and rebuilt the form causing issues. building on 4.5.1 framework and things are working great again. something in the parent form was just broken and now phidgets.bridge is reporting as ordered.....

Silly VB - Thanks!

I have been able to set my data rate to a static 512ms in my Bridgeattach() call but I am still having trouble setting the Gain to 32. What syntax would get this done? I tried following without success:
Am I barking up the wrong call all together?

Thanks Patrick!

Something like: Gain is set per channel, where DataRate is set for the whole board - so you just need to set it for the channels you are using.

I'm having same issue on Visual Studio 2017, after few days working openin forms it says Phidgets.Bridge is not available in the target framework...

Any idea ?

Thank you
