Dial Phidget<\/h1>\n

The Dial Phidget measures the position of the center dial. You can turn the dial clockwise or counter-clockwise continuously. When turning clockwise, the position will increase, and when turning counterclockwise, the position will decrease.The Dial Phidget also has a button. The button operates similarly to the buttons on your Getting Started Kit. It returns true when pushed, and false when released.<\/pee> <\/p>\n
