Today, I worked on the dependency issues between Phidgets and OpenCV. I have resolved a host of issues, and I am now down the last issue of the device not being recognized as plugged in.

An EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE to future raspberry pi/Phidget users! The Phidgets source code has to be edited if you use Python 3, because the sys function that gets the OS version returns "linux2" in Python 2.7, but in Python 3.4 it returns "linux"! Thus, you will have to go into PhidgetLibrary.py and Phidget.py, and edit them to say "linux" instead of "linux2", or else you will get "Platform Not Supported" errors.
