Working projects that use Embedded Proto on real hardware.
Each one has its source on GitHub and walks through the message definitions, the
embedded code and the desktop side.
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a robust communication protocol widely used in embedded systems, particularly in automotive, industrial, and automation applications. This example demonstrates how you can use Embedded Proto to structure data exchanges over a CAN bus. In this setup, Embedded Proto helps define messages for controlling a net booting process in the microcontroller, such as setting the microcontroller …

This example shows you how to easily log data to a SD card with Embedded Proto. The advantage of using protobuf for logging data is that protobuf makes it easy to add new fields with new code revisions. This while it remains backwards compatible. Allowing you to read back old logs with new software. This is especially handing when still …
