Notice: This page contains information for the legacy Phidget21 Library.

Phidget21 is out of support. Bugfixes may be considered on a case by case basis.

Phidget21 does not support VINT Phidgets, or new USB Phidgets released after 2020. We maintain a selection of legacy devices for sale that are supported in Phidget21.

We recommend that new projects be developed against the Phidget22 Library.

The examples for each device all have this general structure so you can follow along. We also have an in-depth general introduction to writing Phidget code (like open, read data, etc), as well as the {{{3}}} for specific syntax:

// ----- Event and Other Functions -----

Create any Language-Specific Functions (exception handling)

Create General Attach, Detach, and Error Handling Functions:

On attach: Initialize hardware (antennas, etc)
On detach: Reset any state variables

Create Hardware-Specific Functions:

Print messages to notify they are called
Perform minor accompanying changes (turn on LED, etc)

 

{{{1}}}

// ----- Main Code -----

Create Device Software Object
Hook Event Functions created above to Device
Open Device

Loop waiting on events and user input
Get and Print various device statuses on request by input
Handle on-going attach and detach events
Exit upon specific user input

Close Device Delete Device
