I've written a little sketch, which makes the ESP set up his own network:
#include <WiFi.h>
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
WiFi.softAP("MyWiFiSSID", "MyWifiPW");
IPAddress IP = WiFi.softAPIP();
Serial.print("AP IP address: ");
Serial.println(IP);
}
Now I am trying to send just the String "test" each 5 seconds as a broadcast through this Network (on Port 55559):
#include <AsyncUDP.h>
AsyncUDP udp;
void loop() {
String testString = "test";
udp.broadcastTo(testString.c_str(), 55559);
delay(5000);
}
Unfortunately this seems to not work properly.
To check, I wrote a Little Xamarin.Android-App (programming language: C# instead of Java and VisualStudio instead of AndroidStudio, but it's more or less the same), which just contains a <Button /> and a <TextView />, for being able to simply receive and print that broadcast:
BroadcastReceiver broadcastReceiver;
private void OnButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e){
broadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver();
broadcastReceiver.ConnectSocket();
string ip = "";
while (!broadcastReceiver.GetBroadcast(ref ip)){ }
FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.txt).Text = broadcastReceiver.BroadcastData;
}
class BroadcastReceiver{
public string BroadcastData{
get{
if (broadcastdatastring == ""){
return "";
}
return broadcastdatastring;
}
}
private IPEndPoint ipe;
private Socket socket;
private byte[] Broadcastdata = new byte[110];
private string broadcastdatastring;
public void ConnectSocket(){
ipe = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 55559);
socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp){
ReceiveBufferSize = 100 * 110
};
socket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.ReceiveTimeout, 1000);
socket.Bind(ipe);
return;
}
public bool GetBroadcast(ref string ip){
ip = "";
broadcastdatastring = "";
if (socket?.Available > 0){
var ep = (EndPoint)ipe;
int received = socket.ReceiveFrom(Broadcastdata, ref ep);
broadcastdatastring = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Broadcastdata);
ip = ((IPEndPoint)ep).Address.ToString();
}
return ip != "";
}
}
Can anyone maybe help or can tell me why I can't receive this broadcast? Is there something wrong in the ESP32 code? Or in my app code (but when giving another broadcast with C# into the net, the app displays it, no Problem)? Or what is the matter?
Would be really happy for every answer!
Best regards
