Looking for help with real time processing with OSC

[sn87q]

Hello!

I would love any help I can get! I am very new to labview and am tasked with creating a real-time labview program using open sound control (OSC) with this library https://www.ni.com/en-ca/support/downloads/tools-network/download.osc-library-for-labview.html#37652...

Looking for any guidance, support, or recommendations as to how to go about this!

Thank you

If you are "new to LabVIEW", and (a) you have several years (!) of programming experience, including some notion of writing "good code" (with documentation), (b) have access to a LabVIEW Mentor to whom you can "apprentice" yourself or (b') can take a several-month intensive course in LabVIEW development that brings you to at least a level of competency to pass the CLD exam, and (c) experience (possibly with a LabVIEW Mentor) with NI Real-Time Linux OS and the LabVIEW Real-Time Module, then you should be ready to download the OSC Library for LabVIEW and start using it.

Note I'm basing some of these estimates on my own experience and learning path.

Is is too much to ask of NI to put a link to the library's webpage (or any other info about the library) on the downloads page?

Well, did you download and install the library? Granted, it would be nice if it is stated on the download page already or in a readme.txt file that is linked on that page, as is sometimes done for official drivers from NI, but then this is a free Toolkit with limited support so you have the alternative of requiring such standards and risking to not have it published at all, since it is to much effort to make it adhere to all the standards, or accept that it is published without every tick box checked. Unfortunately it is nowadays more likely that this download would be pulled from the website than that it would be amended to add this link to some documentation.

Just for completeness the link used to be https://opensoundcontrol.org/ but redirects nowadays to: https://opensoundcontrol.stanford.edu/

Considering this, opensoundcontrol itself looks like an initiative whose creator has pretty much stopped efforts and is saving costs by avoiding a separate website server.

No, I don't need it. I just wanted to read about what it is. Thanks for the links.
