Sample C++ client to show how to interact with Meshtastic devices.

To get started, install nanopb (see https://github.com/nanopb/nanopb). There are several ways to do this. See: https://jpa.kapsi.fi/nanopb/download/ has pre-built binaries. For this example, we will clone the repo and build it. We are assuming bazel is installed.

Clone, build, then return to the main directory:

git clone https://github.com/nanopb/nanopb
cd nanopb
bazel build
cd ..

Make sure it runs:

./nanopb/generator/protoc --version
libprotoc 3.19.4

Clone protobufs into a directory called "proto":

git clone git@github.com:meshtastic/Meshtastic-protobufs.git proto

Create meshtastic directory for generated code: (it could be called whatever you want)

mkdir meshtastic
./nanopb/generator/protoc -I=proto --cpp_out meshtastic `ls proto/*.proto`

Now you just need some simple cpp code to use it.

First example is using serialib - see https://github.com/imabot2/serialib

cd examples/using_serialib
make

Note: There were a few tweaks to get serialib to work. TODO: Need to create PR for those change.
