Lightweight Communications and Marshalling

This is the FRoSt Lab at BYU's fork of LCM. It contains only minor modifications to make it compatible with python3, as well as publish it as a pypi package (to make installable from pip).

Original source is here, our fork is available here, and to find out more about our lab see here.

Lightweight Communications and Marshalling (LCM)

LCM is a set of libraries and tools for message passing and data marshalling, targeted at real-time systems where high-bandwidth and low latency are critical. It provides a publish/subscribe message passing model and automatic marshalling/unmarshalling code generation with bindings for applications in a variety of programming languages.
