Open-sourcing Phidgets Control Panel?

Post by nm17 »

I wasn't sure where to post this so apologies but...

Could you please open source Phidgets Control Panel code?

It is a very useful utility. It would be very useful to be able to fork and modify code for custom needs (e.g. custom troubleshooting etc). I think having this code would also be a good learning material to anyone new(ish) to Phidgets too as it is a real-life usage example as opposed to isolated code snippets in the API and basic tutorials.

I guess this should not pose any risks/issues to Phidgets as there are no commercial aspects to the Control Panel; one needs to have Phidget controllers for the code to be useful.

Hi,

The source code for the channel controllers in the control panel are available as the C# Visual Studio GUI examples. The control panel pulls in the code from each channel class project. The core control panel itself has never been open sourced. It relies on some internal tooling for the build process. Is there something in particular you're interested in / need help with?
