PHIDGETS: Anyone use em? Need some help.

[DaVinci]

Hello all,

I am looking to see if anyone around the newsgroup uses phidgets for
anything. I have been controlling various phidgets with Java for
awhile now but need to switch everything over to C++. Having a hard
time with the interface though and was hoping someone had some well
documented code examples. The stuff that you download from
www.phidgets.com is pretty rough and hardly commented.

Thanks.

What's wrong with the Forums link on that page?

Post questions to the narrowest newsgroup, for best results. This one
discusses the C++ language itself.

Tried that already - thats why I am here.

I am discussing the C++ language itself as to how it is used in
controlling phidgets.

My post is a simple request for any help from someone using C++ in
this manner. No need for a backlash.

I reminded you the odds that forum knows an answer are much higher. If you
would like a backlash, there are those on this newsgroup who will say that
much less politely.

Newsgroups work (for free) by attracting regulars who can answer questions
about one topic. If you ask what kind of steno chair to sit in while typing
C++, and if we answer freely, the regulars who don't know about steno chairs
will get bored and leave.

That is off-topic. _Just_ the standard C++ language and library are
on-topic.
