Hi @kkiyenga,

All suggestions for improvement are welcome!

What kind of diagnostics information would you have in mind for the phidgets_drivers package?

[keshaviyengar]

Cool, maybe something like connection status? Also some diagnostics on the topic could also be done.

Just some ideas.

Thanks,

[keshaviyengar]

You think this is a good idea to have for phidgets?

Hi,

I think that diagnostics on the connection would be a welcome feature. Regarding the topics, it depends on what sort of diagnostics could be useful.

Ok, I will try to get this working (just connection diagnostics) and do a pull request by this week.

Since PR #20 has been merged, I am closing this issue. Thanks a lot for your contribution @kkiyenga!
