This page points to runnable examples and suggests a learning path. For protocol details and role behavior, see Time-Sync.

C/C++ example

c-example-code/ (source)

c-example-code/src/timesync_example.c (source)

c-example-code/src/load_balancing_example.c (source)

c-example-code/src/managed_variables_e2e_example.c (source)

c-example-code/src/managed_variables_e2e_example.cpp (source)

What it demonstrates:

• Building and linking the staticlib.
• Creating and sending packets.
• Receiving and dispatching to handlers.
• Time sync announce/request/response and offset math.
• Managed-variable latest-value resync, bounded packed sides, and E2E policy configuration.

Suggested first steps:

1. Build the library with build.py (source) or CMake.
2. Compile the example and run it locally.
3. Watch the output to see packet creation and handling.

Python example

python-example/ (source)

python-example/timesync_example.py (source)

python-example/load_balancing_example.py (source)

python-example/typed_routing_example.py (source)

python-example/managed_variables_e2e_example.py (source)

What it demonstrates:

• Installing the Python package.
• Logging packets and decoding values.
• Looking up runtime schema names and using the returned IDs.
• Type-specific routing to two dedicated command links without weighted or failover path selection.
• Time sync announce/request/response and offset math.
• Managed-variable latest-value resync and E2E router/type policy settings.

Suggested first steps:

1. Build Python bindings with build.py python or build.py maturin-install ( build.py: source).
2. Run the example script.
3. Inspect printed packets to see decoded values.

Rust example (minimal)

If you want a minimal Rust example, start with Usage-Rust and build a small router with one endpoint handler. For a runnable example, see:

rust-example-code/timesync_example.rs (source)

rust-example-code/relay_example.rs (source)

rust-example-code/reliable_example.rs (source)

rust-example-code/queue_timeout_example.rs (source)

rust-example-code/multinode_sim_example.rs (source)

rust-example-code/load_balancing_example.rs (source)

rust-example-code/typed_routing_example.rs (source)

rust-example-code/managed_variables_e2e_example.rs (source)

The typed-routing example shows one practical pattern: ordinary telemetry stays on its normal link, while a command-like packet type is manually fanned out to two dedicated sides that both reach the same remote destination. It uses set_typed_route(...) only, so there is no load balancing or failover policy involved.

RTOS time sync examples

rtos-example-code/freertos_timesync.c (source)

rtos-example-code/threadx_timesync.c (source)

Recommended structure:

• Define one EndpointHandler for a single DataEndpoint.
• Create a router with no remote sides for local-only logging, or add sides and control forwarding with runtime route rules.
• Call log_* with a typed payload.
• Call rx_packed with the bytes you just sent (loopback).
