Driving an LED
Connecting an LED to a digital output is simple. Wire the anode (long side) to the white wire on the Phidget cable, and the
cathode to the black wire of the Phidget cable. If you wire it backwards, the LED will not light but no harm will come to the
system. You do not need to have a resistor in series with the LED to limit current, because this is handled by the internal
circuitry of the VINT port.
Using the Control Pannel
Double-click on a Digital Output object in order to run the example:
General information about the selected object will be displayed at the top of the window. You can also experiment with the
following functionality:
Toggle the state of the digital output by pressing the button.
Use the
Duty Cycle
slider to start using pulse-width modulation. Rather than simply switching on or off, you can select a
Duty Cycle
to limit the power being supplied to a specic level. This allows you to control devices like a dimmer would.
For more information about Digital Outputs, check out the Digital Output Primer.
Next Step: Finding The Addressing Information
To use Phidgets in programs other than the Control Panel, you will need to take note of the Addressing Information for the
device. Continue to the Finding The Addressing Information section for more information and to get started with your own
programs.
