Lightweight Communications and Marshalling

[DroneOverLord]

I did a quick search but didn't see any post or projects using Lightweight Communications and Marshalling (LCM). It seems like a useful library for a teensy 4.1 so I'm going to try and get it working. You can read about it here:

I plan on sending various sensor structures from a teensy 4.1 via UDP and this library to a host computer.

Seems simple enough...

After a week of frustration, I've come to the conclusion that LCM is a waste of time. It's poorly documented, requires a ton of pre-requisites and dependencies and Nanopb is much easier to get running.

Inconclusion, LCM suck but Nanopb rocks.
