#lighthack wifi

Hello, I am trying to create a wifi box. Using the available code, I made some modifications to use esp8266, I got it to work halfway. In the EOS terminal I see that it receives ping and subcrisciption of parameters. The problem is in the last part of the code when we ask that you receive parameters from EOS.

the original code says

// Then we check to see if any OSC commands have come from Eos
// and update the display accordingly.
size = SLIPSerial.available();
if (size > 0)
{
// Fill the msg with all of the available bytes
while (size--)
curMsg += (char)(SLIPSerial.read());
}
if (SLIPSerial.endofPacket())
{
parseOSCMessage(curMsg);
lastMessageRxTime = millis();
// We only care about the ping if we haven't heard recently
// Clear flag when we get any traffic
timeoutPingSent = false;
curMsg = String();
}
if (lastMessageRxTime > 0)
{
unsigned long diff = millis() - lastMessageRxTime;
//We first check if it's been too long and we need to time out
if (diff > TIMEOUT_AFTER_IDLE_INTERVAL)
{
connectedToConsole = ConsoleNone;
lastMessageRxTime = 0;
updateDisplay = true;
timeoutPingSent = false;
}
//It could be the console is sitting idle. Send a ping once to
// double check that it's still there, but only once after 2.5s have passed
if (!timeoutPingSent && diff > PING_AFTER_IDLE_INTERVAL)
{
OSCMessage ping("/eos/ping");
ping.add(BOX_NAME_STRING "_hello"); // This way we know who is sending the ping
SLIPSerial.beginPacket();
ping.send(SLIPSerial);
SLIPSerial.endPacket();
timeoutPingSent = true;
}
}
if (updateDisplay)
displayStatus();
}

and I'm trying to do it that way

size = Udp.available();
if (size > 0)
{
// Fill the msg with all of the available bytes
while (size--)
curMsg += (char)(Udp.read());
}
if (Udp.endofPacket())
{
parseOSCMessage(curMsg);
lastMessageRxTime = millis();
// We only care about the ping if we haven't heard recently
// Clear flag when we get any traffic
timeoutPingSent = false;
curMsg = String();
}

if (lastMessageRxTime > 0)
{
unsigned long diff = millis() - lastMessageRxTime;
//We first check if it's been too long and we need to time out
if (diff > TIMEOUT_AFTER_IDLE_INTERVAL)
{
connectedToConsole = ConsoleNone;
lastMessageRxTime = 0;
updateDisplay = true;
timeoutPingSent = false;
}

//It could be the console is sitting idle. Send a ping once to
// double check that it's still there, but only once after 2.5s have passed
if (!timeoutPingSent && diff > PING_AFTER_IDLE_INTERVAL)
{
OSCMessage ping("/eos/ping");
ping.add(BOX_NAME_STRING "_hello"); // This way we know who is sending the ping
Udp.beginPacket(outIp, outPort);
ping.send(Udp);
Udp.endPacket();
timeoutPingSent = true;
}
}

if (updateDisplay)
displayStatus();
}
}

I have the problem in the line marked in red. what would be the correct way to translate this for "Udp"?

Thanks!!

  • There is no method endOfPacket() for UDP. Let the if statement away.

  • The main problem is the use of size = Udp.available(); you must use size = Udp.parsePacket();
    I attached a 
    cleaned code without cobalt and color source stuff. Hope it works because I cannot test it with a real environment.

  • hello sstaub! Thank you for this. It starts to work but I still have some problems, I have to skip this part so that Pan and til appears on my screen:

    // if (! connectedToEos)
      // {
    // display a splash message before the Eos connection is open
    //lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
    //lcd.print(String("Box1 v "+ VERSION_STRING) .c_str ());
    //lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
    //lcd.print("waiting for eos ");
    //}
      // else

    Another error also occurs, if I do not have a selected channel, my arduino does not stop restarting.

  • I tested a little bit with an Arduino WIFIv2 board and I have also many problems, so I stopped working.
    Generally that WIFI is not very stable, I think there are many problems with the Arduino framework.
    I think the connection must permanently tested and reconnected.

  • making some changes (adding issueSubscribes (); in the loop and skipping the "waiting for eos" screen I get it to work without problems.) but if I don't have a fixture selected or I have one that doesn't use pan and til my arduino restarts.

  • Maybe that is the USB for Serial. Try to let the USB disconnected to the computer where nomad is installed.

  • No, it's a problem remains the same. I think it has something to do with that there is no parameter update

  • as far as I can see the reset problem comes when it receives the pan and tilt command with no value. when we live a fixture eos emits
    / eos / subscribe / param / tilt. no values This causes it to reset.
    Can you think of any way to ignore this message to try to avoid the restart?
