Protobuf message protocol for the Robocup Humanoid league.

This repository contains example protobuf messages and some code examples for encoding/decoding the different messages.

Compiling

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Running

There are four binaries that are built encode_base, encode_extended, decode_base, and decode_extended.

encode_base will create a message using the official message protocol and save it to a file named base_message.pb.

encode_extended will create a message using the extended message protocol and save it to a file named extended_message.pb.

decode_base will take a file as an argument and will decode that file using the official message protocol and print it to the screen in a json format.

decode_extended will take a file as an argument and will decode that file using the extended message protocol and print it to the screen in a json format.

Alternatively, if you execute the run_all.sh script, it will compile the code and run all permutations of encoding and decoding.
