My hair has turned quite gray trying to make the RN-XV module listen forTCP data and making this work in my Cerbuino.
Actually I dont think this is possible to do with this module. Yes, you can send a HTTP request and get the response but that is not what I want.
So the idea is to have a module that I can communicate to over wifi from an Android phone, so it would be nice to have a module that supports AdHoc mode.
Then the module should just listen to TCP trafic on a specific port and present that for the Cerbuino/Spider.
I think that you’ll have to do that at a lower level of the OSI model. I just flipped through the user manual, and it doesn’t say that it can act as a server at all. You may have to process the data at the packet level (which isn’t as hard as you may think).
Thanks Mr Smith
I haven’t the first clue as how to go so low level . Could you share some more of your knowledge here?
Are there no other modules that can do this out og the box?

The Xbee WIFI module has a lot more functionality, but I’ve only begun using it (today in fact). Apart from that TCP/IP isn’t hard to implement. Are you an experienced developer?
Ok, well I’ve got ages of experience in. Net but less with the MicroFramework. Can I get you to verify that your Xbee can act as a TCP server? Just when you get around to it:-P
What driver are you using and is it a Cerbuino Bee? AdHoc is sparsely supported on Android devices, and works unreliably without root configurations. This is why we use the HotSpot feature on the WiFi-Rn171 module.
