UDPDataLink

UDPDataLink is a repository that enables communication of generic class objects using the UDP protocol.

Dependencies

This repository relies on the Boost library.

Installation

1. Create a 'build' directory at the root of the repository.

2. In the 'build' directory, run the following commands:

   cmake ..
   sudo make install
   

Use

The object class supposed to be sent should be serializable by boost

Publisher

A data publisher of an object of class T can be initialized and used as such :

const char* serverIP = "127.0.0.1";
const int port = 1234
publisher = UDPDataLink::Publisher<T>();
publisher.create(serverIP, port);
//To send data
T data;
publihser.update_data(data);

Receiver

A data receiver of an object of class T can be initialized and used as such :

const int port = 1234
receiver = UDPDataLink::Receiver<T>();
receiver.create(port);
//To Receive the first data in the buffer
T data;
int res = receiver.receive();
// res = 0 : OK ; 

//To convert the received data into the object
receiver.get(data);
