Hi Guys,


 Phidgets are another great way of setting yourself apart and utilizing everything the mirror has to offer! This guide will explain how to make it happen.


 

A Phidget is a small on-off (I/O) controller that can be incorporated in the workflow to trigger different devices. In order to use a phidget with the software, Please download Phidget control panel 21 and follow these steps:

1. Open the phidget controller and select the Web Service tab:



2. Make sure that the server ID and port correspond to the ones in the software under the features tab->phidgets



3. Click "Start" in the Phidget control panel.


4. In order to incorporate the Phidgets feature in the Workflow, click “add state”, choose the type “feature” and select the source “Phidgets 1014”. In the “Next State Trigger” column, select the switch you want to turn on when the Workflow reaches this state (you can select all four if you want). In order to turn the switch back off, add another state with “Phidgets 1014” and remove the selection from that switch in the “Next State Trigger” column.





Note: make sure that your phidget has a power source as it is necessary for it to work.
