Software defined radio, adalm-pluto

Wondering if anyone has built an interface for the Analog Devices software defined radio, "Adalm-pluto"

That looks interesting, It says it has...

MATLAB®, Simulink® support
GNU Radio sink and source blocks
libiio, a C, C++, C#, and Python API

I would think that means you could in theory write some sort LabVIEW wrapper the uses the  C, C++ or C# libraries.

There are a few 2016 and 2013 era postings on this forum about the TV dongle SDR device that tell a similar story.  Something about making a vi that wraps around a windows .DLL file - maybe folded into a VIPM package.

Reference, https://forums.ni.com/t5/Example-Program-Drafts/Using-RTL-SDR-with-Labview-Chapter-1-Labview-on-Wind...

The package is no longer listed though and "wrapping a dll" is something I've never done.  Is there a basic how to that describes how to interface with external to labview programs?  Is this the standard approach?  https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000YGZjCAO&l=en-US

Or, related, how do you interface with a C++ library in a LabVIEW module?

BTW: I believe LabVIEW NXG has a Python node

So you may want to look into using that.

Thanks for the pointer!  LabVIEW 2018 does have Python node.  This will be easier that rolling my own DLL!

[Ray_Fernandez]

would you happen to have an example of what you did with the python node?

[nmoorewsu]

Apologies, not yet.  

[Ray_Fernandez]

Were you able to come up with an example of the python node and adalm-pluto?

Thanks

Hi. Just wondering if you could figure out the answer ....
