Help with UDP communication
So i'm creating an application that creates a connection between a PIC32 microprocessor and n number of clients running on a host computer. To do this I have created a local host program that takes serial data coming from the PIC and broadcasts it on a local UDP network so all the programs can use the data if they would like to.
PIC32 --RS232--> LocalHost ---UDP---> Multiple clients
(Hope this makes sense)
My LocalHost program properly decodes the message and appears to broadcast it to UDP. But my little test client app receives nothing. The test client is just a text box that echoes the UDP data.
The local host is written in C++ since it must work in Win, Linux and Solaris. The test client is written in c# for speed.
So here's the code
Test Client:
Code:
public partial class frmMain : Form
{
Socket _UDPsocket;
private IPAddress _ipAddressClient = IPAddress.Any;
private IPAddress _ipAddressServer = IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1");
private short _portNumberClient = 2425;
private short _portNumberServer = 2425;
private IPEndPoint ipepServer, ipepClient;
private EndPoint epClient, epServer;
private byte[] _dataPacket = new byte[1024];
public delegate void AddToLogDelegate(string text);
public delegate void txtLog_ScrollToEndDelegate();
public frmMain()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
InitializeEthernetPort();
}
private void InitializeEthernetPort()
{
AddToLog("Initializing Ethernet Port");
try
{
// Set up a UDP socket
_UDPsocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);
// Assign the local address and listen on the specified port
ipepServer = new IPEndPoint(_ipAddressServer, _portNumberServer);
epServer = (EndPoint)ipepServer;
ipepClient = new IPEndPoint(_ipAddressClient, _portNumberClient);
epClient = (EndPoint)ipepClient;
_UDPsocket.Bind(epClient);
_UDPsocket.BeginReceiveFrom(_dataPacket, 0, _dataPacket.Length, SocketFlags.None, ref epServer,
new AsyncCallback(UDP_DataReceived), null);
AddToLog("Ethernet port started successfully");
}
catch (System.Net.Sockets.SocketException exception)
{
_portNumberClient++;
InitializeEthernetPort();
}
}
private void UDP_DataReceived(IAsyncResult ar)
{
try
{
_UDPsocket.EndReceiveFrom(ar, ref epServer);
string returnData = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(_dataPacket) + Environment.NewLine;
AddToLog("Received: " + returnData + Environment.NewLine);
_UDPsocket.BeginReceiveFrom(_dataPacket, 0, _dataPacket.Length, SocketFlags.None, ref epServer, new AsyncCallback(UDP_DataReceived), null);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "SGSServerUDP", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}
}
And then here is the server code (a little more complicated). I used a open source class called Practical Socket for the UDP connection.
