sending OSC data out stopped working. Coding was working great and for some odd reason netsend -u -b 9080 stopped working. I disconnected the connection reconnected turnned computer off and back on and still does not work. Seem as Pure data is not stable with programming. I am on windows 10 no firewall are on.

@mrsstaceyseigle Hello. I see you were having problems updating Pd from a "software controller" where you wanted to query the controller.
It is possible that you have constructed a loop that creates a sort of message feedback, and the software controller or Pd has shut it down.

Please post (upload) your patch and tell us more about the controller (what it is....., is it actually hardware and if so is it on your local network?).
[netsend] does not have a history of causing problems......
Pd is stable....... it runs or it doesn't..... and when you build a patch you know straight away about any problems as you work. That makes problem solving easier than programs where you have to code and then "run"......... usually.

You were correct. Looks as there was a loop. How can we avoid loops or know when we have a loop. Also Is copy and pasting okay or is that what causes the loop.

@mrsstaceyseigle Many osc / midi controllers have their own loop avoiding mechanism.
In Pd you can set values without sending them on by the "set" message....... send a float into [set $1( and it will appear in the next message box, but only be sent onwards when you bang that message.
Or you can use [spigot] to stop the query message while receiving osc.
