11 . A Basic Phidget Program

Putting all this information together may seem a bit daunting at first, but the end result can actually be quite simple.

For example, the following program will read the state of a button for a time, as seen in the flowchart to the right:

from Phidget22.PhidgetException import *
from Phidget22.Phidget import *
from Phidget22.Devices.DigitalInput import *
import time

def onAttachHandler(self):
    print("Phidget Attached!")

def onStateChangeHandler(self, state):
    print("State %f" % state)

def main():
    ch = DigitalInput()

    #Set Any Addressing Parameters Here

    ch.setOnAttachHandler(onAttachHandler)
    ch.setOnStateChangeHandler(onStateChangeHandler)

    ch.openWaitForAttachment(5000)

    # Do stuff with your Phidgets here.
    time.sleep(10)

    ch.close()

main()
import com.phidget22.*;

public class DigitalInputExample {
   
   private static DigitalInput ch = null; 

   public static AttachListener onAttach = new AttachListener() {
      @Override
      public void onAttach(AttachEvent e) {
         System.out.print("Phidget Attached!\n");
      }
   };
   
   public static DigitalInputStateChangeListener onStateChange =
      new DigitalInputStateChangeListener() {
      @Override
      public void onStateChange(DigitalInputStateChangeEvent e) {
         System.out.println("State: " + e.getState());
      }
   };
   
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      try {
         ch = new DigitalInput();

         //Set Any Addressing Parameters Here

         ch.addAttachListener(onAttach);
         ch.addStateChangeListener(onStateChange);
         
         ch.open(5000);
         
         Thread.sleep(10000);

         ch.close();
         return;
         
      } catch (PhidgetException ex) {
         System.out.println(ex.getDescription());
      }
   }
}

        }

        {
            Console.WriteLine("State: " + e.State);
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
