TCP to serial and vice versa

[zzand3r10]

Hello,

I am trying to make simple project where I send data to serial port and it will show it on TCP and other way around, when I type something in TCP server it should show up on serial.

Board: Arduino Leonardo ETH (genuine) - connected to TP-link router via cable
Computer 1 (windows 10, using Hercules for serial monitoring and RS232 to USB adapter)
Computer 2 (Kali linux, and using terminal with netcat to connect via netcat) - this computer is connected to TP-link router via wifi

Everything seems to work expect: When I type let's say number "1" in serial terminal i get output on TCP "g" when i type "2" in serial terminal i get output of "3" in TCP

When i type "1" in TCP i get serial output "g=" when i type "2" in TCP i get serial out "3="

Here is the code, i cannot figure out whats wrong ...

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

// Arduino MAC aadress
// Arduino IP aadress
byte mac[] = {
  0x90, 0xA2, 0xDA, 0x10, 0x3C, 0x74
};
IPAddress ip(192, 168, 1, 100);

#define UART_TCP_PORT 3300
#define TR_BAUD_RATE 115200
EthernetServer server(UART_TCP_PORT);

void setup() {
  while (!Serial) { ; }
    // initialize CS pin
    Ethernet.init(10);
    // initialize the ethernet device
    Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
    

    // Open serial communication
    SERIAL_PORT_HARDWARE.begin(TR_BAUD_RATE);

    // start listening for clients
    server.begin();
}

void loop() {
    // wait for a TCP client:
    EthernetClient client = server.available();

    // when the TCP client is connected
    if (client) {
        // and sends the byte
        if (client.available() > 0) {
            // read the bytes incoming from the TCP client and send it to UART
            SERIAL_PORT_HARDWARE.write(client.read());
        }
    }

    // when TR module sends the byte, read it and send it to TCP client
    if (SERIAL_PORT_HARDWARE.available()) {
        server.write(SERIAL_PORT_HARDWARE.read());
    }
    
}

I'm not sure about the character issues. Some thoughts:

1. Verify you're using the right baud rate on the Windows PC serial
2. Check netcat's connection mode isn't doing anything funky/unexpected. Posting the command you're using to connect would be a good idea.

Aside from this, I note your code is checking for a new client each time around loop() and then ditching it, which I think is probably not what you want. I'd have thought you want to establish a client, and thereafter hold onto that client instance and shuffle bytes between it and the serial port.

Thanks for your input, I will try putty or something like that instead of netcat just to be sure. The netcat command I use is "netcat 192.168.1.100 3300"

Baudrate is corret, othewise I dont get any output on serial.

Right, that netcat command should be creating a TCP connection, so that looks fine to me.

I'd try fixing up the issues in loop() since everything else is checking out.
