+# Go UDP Receiver - High-Performance UDP Testing Tool
+
+A high-performance Go implementation for testing UDP reception performance. This version focuses purely on UDP performance without any GUI/display components, making it ideal for benchmarking network throughput and detecting dropped frames.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Pure UDP Performance**: No GUI overhead, focuses on network performance
+- **High Throughput**: Go's native performance handles 200+ fps easily
+- **Low Latency**: Dedicated goroutine for UDP reception
+- **Drop Detection**: Tracks and reports dropped frames based on timing
+- **Bandwidth Monitoring**: Real-time bandwidth usage statistics
+- **Clean Output**: Console-based statistics ideal for logging and analysis
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Go 1.21+**: Download from https://go.dev/dl/
+- **No other dependencies**: Pure Go implementation using only standard library
+
+## Building
+
+### Windows (PowerShell)
+
+```powershell
+# From project root
+.\scripts\build_go_receiver.ps1
+
+# Or manually from scripts/go directory
+cd scripts\go
+go build -o recv_raw_rolling.exe main.go
+```
+
+### Linux/macOS
+
+```bash
+# From project root
+./scripts/build_go_receiver.sh
+
+# Or manually from scripts/go directory
+cd scripts/go
+go build -o recv_raw_rolling main.go
+```
+
+## Running
+
+```bash
+# Windows
+cd scripts\go
+.\recv_raw_rolling.exe
+
+# Linux/macOS
+cd scripts/go
+./recv_raw_rolling
+```
+
+Press `Ctrl+C` to stop and display final statistics.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit the constants in [`main.go`](main.go:13) to match your setup:
+
+- `COLUMN_WIDTH`: Width of incoming data (default: 4)
+- `COLUMN_HEIGHT`: Height of incoming data (default: 2456)
+- `CHANNELS`: Number of color channels (default: 3 for RGB)
+- `UDP_PORT`: UDP port to listen on (default: 5000)
+- `EXPECTED_FPS`: Expected frame rate for drop detection (default: 200)
+
+## Output
+
+The receiver displays statistics every 100 frames:
+
+```
+Frame    100: Real FPS:  198.5 | Instant:  200.2 | BW:  34.56 MB/s
+Frame    200: Real FPS:  199.1 | Instant:  199.8 | BW:  34.62 MB/s
+Frame    300: Real FPS:  199.8 | Instant:  200.1 | BW:  34.59 MB/s | ⚠️  2 drops
+```
+
+On shutdown (Ctrl+C), it displays final statistics:
+
+```
+=== Final Statistics ===
+Total Frames: 1234
+Total Time: 6.17 seconds
+Average FPS: 200.0
+Instant FPS: 199.8
+Total Drops: 5
+Total Data: 35.67 MB
+Bandwidth: 34.58 MB/s
+```
+
+## Performance Comparison
+
+| Implementation | Typical FPS | CPU Usage | Overhead |
+|---------------|-------------|-----------|----------|
+| Python (OpenCV) | ~100 fps | High | Display rendering |
+| **Go (Console)** | **200+ fps** | **Minimal** | **None** |
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **UDP Performance Testing**: Measure maximum UDP throughput
+- **Network Diagnostics**: Detect packet loss and timing issues
+- **Benchmarking**: Compare network setups and configurations
+- **Automated Testing**: Console output suitable for CI/CD pipelines
+- **High-Speed Data Acquisition**: Validate 200+ fps data streams
+
+## Technical Details
+
+- **Concurrent UDP Reception**: Dedicated goroutine prevents frame drops
+- **16MB Receive Buffer**: Configured for high-throughput scenarios
+- **Zero Display Overhead**: Pure console output for maximum performance
+- **Graceful Shutdown**: Handles Ctrl+C and displays final statistics
+- **No External Dependencies**: Pure Go standard library
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Errors
+
+Ensure you have Go 1.21+ installed:
+```bash
+go version
+```
+
+### Port Already in Use
+
+If port 5000 is in use, edit `UDP_PORT` in [`main.go`](main.go:31) and rebuild.
+
+### High Drop Rate
+
+1. Check network configuration with [`scripts/udp_optimize.ps1`](../udp_optimize.ps1) (Windows)
+2. Verify sender is transmitting at correct rate
+3. Check for network congestion or interference
+4. Consider increasing receive buffer size in code
+
+## Comparison with Python Version
+
+The Python version ([`scripts/recv_raw_rolling.py`](../recv_raw_rolling.py)) includes visual display but has lower throughput:
+
+- **Use Go version for**: Performance testing, benchmarking, headless servers
+- **Use Python version for**: Visual debugging, development, seeing actual data
+
+## Changes from Previous Version
+
+This version has been simplified to focus purely on UDP performance:
+
+- ✅ Removed SDL2 dependency
+- ✅ Removed GUI/display components  
+- ✅ Added comprehensive statistics
+- ✅ Improved drop detection
+- ✅ Added bandwidth monitoring
+- ✅ Zero external dependencies
