Why not on ARM...? - Anonymous

The Phidgets download contains the driver source, there's no reason why this couldn't be rebuilt to support the ARM processor.

I didn't see any source in the driver download - the source was just for a Windows XP GUI (correct me if I'm wrong)! - Anonymous

yes, you are right - I will ping the Phidgets guys to see if they can also provide the driver code.

We (Phidgets Inc) will be releasing the source pretty soon. I just wanted to get a quick driver out to see what people think. - Anonymous

Phidgets appears to support a lot of COMPETENT operating systems and languages. Given the choice, why would any one use Phidgets on CE they absolutely had to?
CE is a terrible choice for embedded systems. Its sheer bloat, bugginess, and deficient API mean that anything else - even DOS - is a vastly better choice.
Fortunately, Phidgets seems to be aware of this and provides powerful alternatives, such as Linux, to their CE support. - Anonymous
