Hi Ivan,

I've done some work with phidgets in ROS. Can you comment on differences
between your package and existing ones?

1) By Bob Mottram, rather extensive : https://launchpad.net/phidgets-ros-pkg
2) By Tully Foote, only RFID? : http://ros.org/wiki/phidgets

Thanks,
Doug

> Hi everyone,
>
> We have put together a small stack with drivers for Phidgets devices:
>
> http://www.ros.org/wiki/phidgets_drivers
>
> The stack contains a package that downloads and installs the official
> Phidgets C API, as well as a C++ API which we've written on top of it.
> The C++ API provides a single Phidget class which specific devices can
> inherit from. We have currently implemented two Phidgets: the
> PhidgetSpatial 3/3/3 IMU and the Phidget IR, as well as ROS nodes for
> both of them.
>
> Extending the stack with more Phidget device classes should be fairly
> easy using the API.
>
> More info is available at the wiki pages. As always, we welcome any
> feedback and suggestions.
>
> Cheers,
>
> Ivan
