ESP8266 as TCP server

2019-10-16T10:49:38+08:00

I am trying to use the SBC65EC as a simple TCP/IP server that would simply receive a byte, echo it back and use that to modulate the length of a pulse. I added the code inside the while loop in the web server application without changing anything else except for the required declaration and definitions to make the code work. Here is the code I added:

while1

TRISCbits.TRISC5 = 1 ; / set RC5 for input /
TRISBbits.TRISB4 = 0 ; / set RB4 for output /

if TCPIsConnectedtcpsocket

if PORTCbits.RC5 == 1
/ check the input on PORTB /
i = 0; / Initialize i/
pulse_en = 1; / set state variable/
if PORTCbits.RC5 == 0 & pulse_en == 1
/look for an on-to-off transition/
LATBbits.LATB4 = 1 ; / light on if pulse /
DelayMs1000;
LATBbits.LATB4 = 0 ; / turn pulse off after timeout /

pulse_en = 0;

else

Socket_ok = 0;

if TickGetDiffTickGet, t >= TICK_SECOND/pulse_rec

t = TickGet;
LATB6 = 1;

//Perform routine tasks
MACTask;

/
This task performs normal stack task including checking
for incoming packet, type of packet and calling
appropriate stack entity to process it.
/
StackTask;

if Socket_ok

LATBbits.LATB4 = 1 ;
DelayMs1000;
LATBbits.LATB4 = 0 ;

ifTCPIsGetReadytcpsocket

TCPGettcpsocket, &pulse;
DelayMs50;
pulse_rec = 8;
TCPDiscardtcpsocket;
if TCPIsPutReadytcpsocket

TCPPuttcpsocket, pulse;
DelayMs50;
TCPFlushtcpsocket;
DelayMs50;
TCPDiscardtcpsocket; //Release the buffer

else

tcpsocket = TCPListenport;
if tcpsocket = INVALID_SOCKET

Socket_ok = TRUE;

This code does connect right now over port 200. The value assigned to the port in the variable declaration. I can see that on Ethereal. However, that's all it does. It does not echo anything back. The evidence is that the pulse rate on the built-in LED does not change. I have the pulse starting out at 1 every second. And I am trying to change it to once every 1/8th of a send once the TCPGet occurs. And the pulse rate is not changing. I am also trying to turn on another LED that I added for one second once the socket is connected. That's not hapenning either. I am starting to suspect that maybe another task is getting attached. The HTTP task attaches on port 80 though, not 200. Can you help me with this?

Thanks,

Rami Salah

Hi, thanks for the server code but what compiler are you using? The Ardurino compiler throws many syntax errors such as "invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'espconn*' [-fpermissive]". This seems to appear anywhere you attempt to cast a pointer such as "struct espconn *pespconn = arg;". This is not a valid way of type casting. The entire code block would take a lot of effort to repair these errors.

ESP8266 as TCP server

2018-05-24T06:28:07+08:00

Hello ,
I have noticed some examples found in the help web page for wlan esp8266. One is the TCP server that a PC can connect the the esp8266 access point and switch on off LEDs.
The other is the TCP client that the esp8266 connects to home router and accesses matrixs web page.

Is there an example of those 2 combined?
It would be good to connect the esp8266 to home router and switch LEDs on off through the internet by enabling port forward on home router.

Thank you
Best Regards
Andreas Achilleos

ESP8266 as TCP server

2017-06-21T08:05:04+08:00

Dear Sir
I am Dushyant here
i have made Vb code for Modbus Tcp/Ip. Which works as Server/Slave as well as Client/Master.
Now my software can connect with only one server at one time
so is it possible to be connected for continusly with more then one server?

Hi Espressif:

I used the sample code ESP8266 as TCP server , but after I compiling the code , it shows a lot of error messages.

what's wrong with it ? I do not know how to test that !

The codes and sim results are shown as attached files.

ESP8266 as TCP server

If using espconn in ESP8266_RTOS_SDK, please call espconn_init in user_init as initialization.

Sample code below is based on ESP8266_NONOS_SDK.
1. Start from user_init
2. ESP8266 is in station mode and connect to a router
3. Set up a TCP server listening to TCP client
4. If TCP server received data from TCP client, it will reply the same data back to TCP client.

Code:

#include "ets_sys.h"
#include "osapi.h"
#include "user_interface.h"
#include "espconn.h"

LOCAL struct espconn esp_conn;
LOCAL esp_tcp esptcp;
