# rtl_433 examples
==================

The `pipe` examples read JSON output from `rtl_433` using a pipe, i.e.

The `relay` examples consumes the (UDP) Syslog output from rtl_433 (or a legacy plain JSON datagram).

Compilation instructions
===========
# Compilation instructions for VS15
To compile the program in Visual Studio 2015 (newer versions should work as well), you first need to extract the rtl-sdr library into a folder "rtl-sdr" parallel to the rtl_433_win folder.
You can use the official, but outdated (January 2014)) windows build https://osmocom.org/attachments/2242/RelWithDebInfo.zip
