    DOH! The other download was a hot link in the message thread.... never thought to look at the "DOWNLOADS" section.

    And no Vicodin in use here as an excuse.

    When I hit the download library link... I get a message that says I don't have permission to do that! BUT I am logged in under my normal username and it shows in the upper right as "logged in as JBaymore".

    What's up?

    Installing for the first time

    As for me, Im new to Phigets/FS2Phidgets, and so I want to ensure that I understand everything before I get home late tonight to install my soon to be delivered rotary encoder that will be used for the Learjet's SPD controller.

    If Ive never installed FS2Phidgets before, do I simply download the latest version of the software and go from there?

    Thanks,

    Eric,

    There are two parts of the software. Ther is the Phidgets.msi runtime library that you install first...then there is the FS2Phidget software that "talks to" the other library stuff.

    READ the manual, and play with the virtual Phidgets to get a sense of what they do.

    best,

    Okay, Im being told by Alex over at Trossen that the newest version of phidgets.msi at one point was not working (and Ive read this here too some).

    Is it now working, and if not, where is the best file located to use please?

    Thanks, I just dont want to go all weekend and not be able to use this rotary encoder.

    Eric,

    That is true... you have to use the next to last version of the msi until Alan releases the newest version.....which looks like any day now. There is another thread here that has the location....I'm not sure of it.

    Eric,

    Searched and found the thread.... it is NOT where you'd expect. The other link that IS in a place you'd expect now points fo a Phidgets site hat ONLY seems to have the 21 version.....unless the "Flash" version mentioned at he bottom is THE one....which it MIGHT be.

    Apparently the version on THIS page works. It MIGHT be the same one as on the above mentioned page.

    Hope this helps you out.

    best,

    Thanks for that. I looked at every thread that I could find using "phidgets.msi" and didnt locate it. It does appear that this could be the file that is on the Phidgets page, but Im wary to use it due to the warning that it's not for new projects.

    I will see what happens I guess.
