Crate cot_publisher 

This crate provides an interface for publishing Cursor on Target (COT) messages to multicast addresses or TAK servers over TCP/TLS.

There are two features available:

• blocking - Provides a blocking interface for use in non-async applications
• emit_errors - Enables error logging using the log crate

The blocking implementation runs a Tokio runtime in a separate thread to handle async operations.

The emit_errors feature allows the library to log errors using the log crate. This is disabled by default to avoid unnecessary dependencies in applications.

Examples

Async multicast

use cot_publisher::{CotPublisher, CursorOnTarget};

async fn example() {
    let publisher = CotPublisher::new_multicast("239.2.3.1".parse().unwrap(), 6969);
    let mut cot = publisher.create_cot("unique-uid", "a-f-G-U").unwrap();
    cot.set_position(51.5074, -0.1278);
    cot.set_contact(Some("CALLSIGN"), None);
    cot.publish().await.unwrap();
}

Blocking multicast

use cot_publisher::blocking::CotPublisher;

let publisher = CotPublisher::new_multicast("239.2.3.1".parse().unwrap(), 6969);
let mut cot = publisher.create_cot("unique-uid", "a-f-G-U").unwrap();
cot.set_position(51.5074, -0.1278);
cot.set_contact(Some("CALLSIGN"), None);
cot.blocking_publish().unwrap();
