The libphidget library provides an API for controlling
Phidgets USB devices. The library translates API function
calls to libusb function calls to control attached Phidgets
devices that provide GPIO's, DAC's, accelerometers, servo
motors, and other capabilities either singly or on combo
devices.
To use libphidget for controlling locally attached devices you
need to set up the userspace USB device tree /dev/bus/usb. See
file udev/99-phidgets.rules.
The libphidget library also contains an API for sending
commands to a local or remote phidgetwebservice using HTTP.
The phidgetwebservice then translates HTTP requests to
libphidget API function calls to control locally attached
Phidgets devices.
