Protobuf Questions

I apologize but im struggling with getting my own messages to work.

I have a radio connected to one pc through serial and the same on another pc and am trying to use C++ with protobuf to send my own message structure. Both PCs are Linux and am using a makefile and then running the code.

I don’t receive anything or it doesn’t come through. It definelty seems like the issues is specifiying the channel and port and where/how that is done and looking through the protobuf library and API im not seeing how that is done.

Again sorry, am just hoping some one can hold my hand on how to use protobuf to send my own message/data structure through serial from one pc to another over meshtastic cause I can’t figure it out.
