That did the trick. What a fantastic program!

Turns out the missing link, pun intended, Phidget has recently updated their libraries. That must be why the link geekinc posted above is no longer valid.

At any rate, when I ran Dependency Checker I found phidgetencoderplugin.dll was looking for phidget20.dll. The Phidget library I installed -- downloaded a few weeks ago from Phidgets.com -- contains phidget21.dll. Going back Phidgets.com, there is actually a link to the previous version, what they call Flash Legacy libraries, otherwise known as ver20.

Installed up the legacy phidget library set, rebooted, and now I can see the phidget encoder plugin in StreetDeck. Taking my CarPC out to the car to verify the phidget itself is works correctly when I'm done with this post. Have no reason to think it wont.

Thanks much for the help. Just got back from a 16 hour drive yesterday and I'll tell ya, controlling the volume on screen is a far cry from the convenience of using a phidget volume knob (encoder).

Happy Camper.... er, CarPCer!!
