The libphidget library provides an API for controlling Phidgets
|
|
USB devices. The library translates API function calls to libusb
|
|
function calls to control attached Phidgets devices that provide
|
|
GPIO's, DAC's, accelerometers, servo motors, and other capabilities
|
|
either singly or on combo devices.
|
|
|
|
To use libphidget for controlling locally attached devices you
|
|
need to set up the userspace USB device tree /dev/bus/usb. See
|
|
file udev/99-phidgets.rules.
|
|
|
|
The libphidget library also contains an API for sending commands
|
|
to a local or remote phidgetwebservice using HTTP. The
|
|
phidgetwebservice then translates HTTP requests to libphidget API
|
|
function calls to control locally attached Phidgets devices.
