Not all that familiar with EPIC.
Sounds like you are using Windows.  And the software provided by phidget is
windows based. so you either roll your own for Linux or make do with the
stuff in sourceforge.

I still like my board that drives 16 digits and runs in Linux kernel space
on an interrupt basis. I never liked windows as an OS for simulation. As an
engineer I like to know ALL the details and I don't think MS is going to
release source any time soon...
