LilyGo T-CAN485 sample update

gerbenvl commented 12 months ago

While I'm a developer it still took me a bit of time to get going with the LilyGo T-CAN485. Hope it will takes less time of others with these hints.

So making the LilyGo T-CAN485 sample easier for first timers:

The reamde.md recommends to disable WiFi powersave, also added that in the sample.
The readme doesn't talk about a static IP, while it's quite practical to have that.
I was a bit in the unclear that target address needs to go to home assistant. Didn't expect the UDP listener in HA. Hinted now that the target IP goes to HA when HA is used.
Quite some people will use this with Home Assistant where the default UDP port is 9999. Also changed to that port in the sample. Also see issue #35.
Added some comments around the read and write ports and their defaults. Makes it a bit easier to do the Home Assistant Nibe setup.

I have a avoided 9999 since chromecast audio transmits on that. But i suppose it mostly generate some log noise.

Thanks for your response!

Maybe also change the default then to 10090 in the HA integration? Now it lead to a bit of confusion for me.

Curious what you think of the other changes. I can remove the 9999 from this PR?

Lets run with 9999
