Phidgets stands for Physical-Widgets. Besides being a fun name to say Phidgets are just as fun to develop with. Phidgets are small USB modules that allow computer programmers to interact with the physical world. A huge product line of controllers, sensors, and I/O boards coupled with an extremely robust set of user APIs and sample programs makes Phidgets the undeniable leader in bridgeware.

Only a student's creativity will limit what they can do with Phidgets:
  • Control practically anything you can think of with a Phidget! fans, lights, switches, levers, pumps, sirens, robots...
  • tons of sensors! temperature, range/distance, light, humidity, motion, pressure, force, magnetic fields, voltage, current, vibration...
  • All kinds of user input! switches, buttons, knobs, sliders, touch sensors, joysticks...
In the classroom Phidgets are great for:
  • ubiquitous computing / HCI projects
  • scientific labs / data collection
  • PC based robotics
  • user interface design / product design
  • general automation projects
  • rapid prototyping
  • interactive art projects
  • simulators
