RS232 to UDP or TCP #574

Open jaygrovr opened 11 months ago

jaygrovr commented 11 months ago

I dont see a way to use this code to forward messages received on the uart to a UDP or TCP port? Am I missing something? I dont want to use mqtt, i just want it to send it out to a specific port so I can have node-red parse the data.

Thanks

Jason

btw, nice work on what I have so far.

Hi Jason. Esp-link is a TCP server that waits for incoming connections. You need to use a client to connect to esp-link. Esp-link is not a TCP client that makes outgoing connections to an IP:port.

Once a client is connected, esp-link will forward data Serial Port <-> TCP in both directions over that TCP connection.

If my node-red instance makes a connection with it on the network side will I still be able to see data coming in from the serial side? Jason

I'm not familiar with node-red (heard the name before, but that's it), but yes, this is how it works in general, and that's how I'm using it (with my own client).

how do I know which port to request the data from? jason On Thursday, December 7, 2023 at 11:52:55 AM PST, yesyesuk @.***> wrote:
