Raw UDP on Arduino

Hello

I need to send Raw UDP messages, and I'm a little confused by various posts in the forum.

I've tried:

byte outBuf[] = {0xF0, 0x43, 0x10, 0x3E, 0x7F, 0x01, 0x1A, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0xF7};

// This sends all 14 bytes, zeros and all
Udp.write(outBuf, 14);

But this doesn't seem to work...

Any help would be most appreciated!

But this doesn't seem to work...

Your evidence?

I'm trying to send the Raw UDP (over WiFi) back to an iPhone. When I send messages to the iPhone (over WiFi) using a MAX patcher (using sadam.udpsender) everything works. Is there any way I can monitor this (I've tried Wireshark, but there's too much traffic). Is there a Processing example for RawUDP? I'm sure I'm very close here, not sure what to try next...

That was a hint for you to post your code.

Sorry, I didn't get that...

Thanks for your replies!

My hardware setup is: Arduino Uno, Arduino Ethernet Shield connected to TP-Link Nano Wireless router, MIDI Shield.
My aim is to build a standalone RawUDP->MIDI, MIDI->RawUDP standalone interface using Arduino modules.

The RawUDP part is the issue... I'm sure it's a small coding error.

#include <MIDI.h>
#include <SPI.h>         // needed for Arduino versions later than 0018
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <EthernetUdp.h>         // UDP library from: bjoern@cs.stanford.edu 12/30/2008


// Enter a MAC address and IP address for your controller below.
// The IP address will be dependent on your local network:
byte mac[] = {  
  0x90, 0xA2, 0xDA, 0x0D, 0xFC, 0xDD };
IPAddress ip(192,168,0,21);
int led = 6;
unsigned int localPort = 9000;      // local port to listen on
 IPAddress destinationIP(192, 168, 0, 223);  // Address of target machine
  unsigned int destinationPort = 9001;      // Port to send to

// buffers for receiving and sending data
char packetBuffer[14]; //buffer to hold incoming packet,
char  ReplyBuffer[] = "acknowledged";       // a string to send back

// An EthernetUDP instance to let us send and receive packets over UDP
EthernetUDP Udp;

void setup() {
   pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
  // start the Ethernet and UDP:
  Ethernet.begin(mac,ip);
  Udp.begin(localPort);

  //Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  // if there's data available, read a packet
  int packetSize = Udp.parsePacket();
  if(packetSize)
  {
  
     digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
   
    // read the packet into packetBufffer
    Udp.read(packetBuffer,UDP_TX_PACKET_MAX_SIZE);
    
    
    
    
    // send a reply, to the IP address and port that sent us the packet we received
    delay(10);
    // The message is UDP equivalent of a MIDI SysEx message to turn channel 2 of an 01v96 console ON...
   byte outBuf[] = {0xF0, 0x43, 0x10, 0x3E, 0x7F, 0x01, 0x1A, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0xF7};

   // This should send all 14 bytes, zeros and all - this is not working!
   Udp.beginPacket(Udp.remoteIP(), Udp.remotePort());
   Udp.write(outBuf, 14);
   Udp.endPacket();

    
    
    Serial.flush();
    delay(2);
    Serial.end();
  
 // Change the arduino's baud rate to that of MIDI...
  
  Serial.begin(31250);
 //Send received string out via MIDI - this is working.
    Serial.write(240);  //F0
  //  Serial.println("SysEx Sent:");
   // Serial.print(240);
    //Serial.print(" ");
    for (int n = 1; n< packetSize - 1; n++)
    {
      Serial.write(packetBuffer[n]);
     // Serial.print(packetBuffer[n], DEC);
     // Serial.print(" ");
    }
    Serial.write(247); //F7
    Serial.flush();
   delay(2);
    Serial.end();
   digitalWrite(led, LOW);
  
     
  }
  
   
  delay(10);
}

I'm receiving fine from the iPhone, and the MIDI is output correctly. But the UDP send back to the iPhone (which should turn channel 2 on in the iOS App) never gets received. That's my only stumbling block. Please note, I need the output to be Raw UDP, sent to the correct IP and Port. I think that's where the problem lies.

Hope you can help!

Anyone?
