Install: brew install exodriver

About:
Exodriver provides a thin, low-level C library and command-line interface for communicating with LabJack devices. It acts as a USB interface wrapper, abstracting the complexities of direct USB communication and enabling easy integration with higher-level applications. This driver is essential for developers needing to automate data acquisition and control tasks with LabJack hardware on Linux and macOS systems.

Key Features:

Thin C library for low-latency device communication
Simple command-line interface for testing and scripting
Supports multiple LabJack device models (U3, U6, UE9)
Abstracts libusb interactions for easier development
Open-source with MIT license

Use Cases:

Developing custom data acquisition software for LabJack devices
Automating industrial control systems via scripting
Prototyping sensor interfaces and hardware control logic
Integrating LabJack hardware into existing scientific research pipelines

Alternatives:

LJLogM / LJStreamM – Official LabJack applications for logging/streaming; exodriver is a developer-focused alternative for custom integration.
Python labjack-ljm – Higher-level official driver; exodriver is a lower-level C alternative for performance-critical or embedded applications.
