To program with Phidgets, it is important to understand how the physical input and output channels of Phidget devices correspond to the software controlling them.

==What are Phidget channels?==

Each part of a Phidget's behaviour split into individual parts called '''Channels'''. Each channel represents a '''single part''' of a device, such as a single input on a digital input Phidget, the humidity sensor on a humidity Phidget, or one motor on a DC motor controller.

Each channel has a '''Channel Class''', corresponding to the type of function the channel performs. For example, a {{code|DCMotor}} channel will control a DC motor, a {{code|TemperatureSensor}} channel will measure temperature, and an {{code|RFID}} channel will deal with an RFID reader.
