Integration with LUA

[Milrren Mattar]

Hey guys!

I am using nanopb to an embedded c project and now I have to receive and handle data on a web socket in LUA.

I've tried to compile my .proto files with PBLuaC, a project that I found on web, and sadly it doesn't work at all.

Anybody have ever used nanopb on lua? I really need some tips!

Thanks!

So you need a protocol buffers library for Lua.

In general nanopb is not really designed for calling from another
language. It would be better to have a lua-native library for that side
of communication. All protobuf libraries are compatible, so that part
shouldn't be a problem.

I assume this is the project you tried?
http://lua.siffiejoe.dtdns.net/pb4lua/

Maybe try contacting them with the problems you had? It seems like a
reasonably well maintained project so I think it should work.

Seems that project has ceased to exist some time in the past 3 years.
Instead it seems there is a new package implementing protobuf for lua:
