capnp_socket_example

This repository contains the implementation of a socket example using Cap'n Proto for efficient data serialization. Before proceeding, ensure you have the proper tools and environment set up by referring to the following instructions:

Setup Guide and Environment

Prerequisites

The Cap'n Proto compiler has been used to generate the necessary .bin, .h, and .c++ files. To compile car_data.capnp, execute the following command:
capnpc -oc++ car_data.capnp

Getting Started

To use this example, follow the steps below:

Data Writing with Python

1. Run the write_data.py script to write serialized data:
   python write_data.py

Compiling and Running the C++ QT Application

2. Prepare the build directory:
   rm -r build
   // Remove the existing build directory

3. Configure the project using cmake, setting the appropriate paths for Qt and Cap'n Proto:
   cmake -B build . -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:\Qt\6.6.0\msvc2019_64;C:\capnp\capnproto-c++-1.0.2\build"
   // Ensure to replace the paths with the ones corresponding to your environment

4. Compile the application:
   cmake --build build --config Release

5. Run the executable:
   .\build\Release\car_data_display.exe

Make sure to adjust any paths and versions to fit your local setup.
