These operating system pages provide drivers for using Phidgets. They help you set up your system after following the User Guide for your device. If you are just looking to get your drivers right away you can go to the quick downloads section for the appropriate OS below. You can view the changelog for the drivers here: Driver Changelog.
Phidgets can be run either directly through USB or remotely over a network via the Phidget Network Server. Most operating systems below can run Phidgets directly, but a few can only control them over a network. Phidgets can also probably be run on other operating systems that have support for compiling C code, and either a standard network connection for running a Phidget over a network, or a USB host controller for direct control. We don't offer support directly for these additional operating systems, but you may find the installation and setup instructions for Linux useful because compiling and custom toolchains are discussed.
Licensing information for all of Phidgets' software can be found here. The actual licenses are available at the bottom of Phidgets Inc.
Phidgets can run either directly or over a network on these operating systems:
