Phidget

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A phidget is a physical representation and/or implementation of a widget.

For example, an on-screen dial widget could be implemented physically by creating a hardware based widget.

Phidgets are a set of building blocks for low cost sensing and control from a personal computer. Using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) as the basis for all Phidgets, the complexity is managed behind an Application Programming Interface (API). Applications can be developed in Mac OSX, Linux, Windows_CE and Windows operating systems.
