Hello, even though I tried I could not connect with the FEZ Spider to a UDP server, for more codes I found on the forum I fail to connect with the platform, using the address 127.0.0.1 emulator running, but not well with the hardware.
I can successfully ping, and when I use the UDP server examples working properly but I can not run as a client.
I use the Hercules software to open the UDP server.
The firmware version is 4.2.10.1
Anyone can help me?
Hi Andre, what I’m doing is:
I open the Hercules program on my pc, I connect via a crossover cable the FEZ Spider and PC.
Everything has fixed addresses to avoid problems with DHCP.
I’m using the next code:
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using Microsoft.SPOT;
using GHI.Premium.Net;
namespace UDP_Client_42
{
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
Socket SendingSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);
//IPAddress Send_to_Address = IPAddress.Parse(“192.168.1.10”); //PC
IPAddress Send_to_Address = IPAddress.Parse(“127.0.0.1”); // Emulator
IPEndPoint sending_end_point = new IPEndPoint(Send_to_Address, 10001);
byte[] buff = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("prueba de socket");
try
{
//ns.WriteByte(55);
SendingSocket.SendTo(buff, sending_end_point);
}
catch (Exception Send_Ex)
{
Debug.Print(Send_Ex.Message);
}
Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);
}
}
}
Thank you.
127.0.0.1 is not a valid network address. It’s not “routable” between devices. You need actual (fixed or DHCP allocated) network addresses for this to work. So I think you need to get the addressing sorted out before you can take this further…
Thanks Andre for your comment, I’ll put the code with the correct format.
Hello Brett, I use the 127.0.0.1 IP only for the emulator, using the configuration tools for the device, now has the IP to 192.168.1.9, and my server the 192.168.1.10 in the port 10001.
when I run the code in the emulator everything works properly, but not with the device, (changing the server IP and using the cross cable).

IPAddress Send_to_Address = IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1"); // Emulator
IPEndPoint sending_end_point = new IPEndPoint(Send_to_Address, 10001);
//NetworkStream ns = new NetworkStream(SendingSocket);
byte[] buff = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("prueba de socket");
try
{
//ns.WriteByte(55);
SendingSocket.SendTo(buff, sending_end_point);
}
catch (Exception Send_Ex)

Debug.Print(Send_Ex.Message);

Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);

}
thanks.
@ Gabo2 -
Are you using wifi, built-in Ethernet, ENC28 or something else?
Hello Dat, I’m using the J11D Socket included in the FEZ Spider Kit.
@ Gabo2 -
Then show us your code (full and simple) then we can copy / paste and test it quickly.
In your post #5, it looks like there is no code for JD11 module
Shouldn’t the network tack be routed to the proper interface first? (there are 3 of them built-in, enc28 and wifi)
Dat, the code is based on a GUS example of a httpListener.

Could you also provide details on how your network is setup for the connection between the PC and the Spider?
Dat, I’ll make the test with your example code.
James, the configuration of the network is:
PC:
Static IP 192.168.1.10
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
FEZ Spider
Static IP 192.168.1.9
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Im’ using a cross cable to connect the PC and the FEZ Spider.
thanks.
@ Gabo2 -
oh, I don’t think cross cable work with that code.
I am using a switch
Dat, the code of the spider was right (with static IP), what did not work was the udp server on the PC, your code helped me a lot.
Thank you very much to all for your help.
