I am currently trying to use the wifi101 example "WiFi UDP Send and Receive String" to receive 2 integers being sent from Maxmsp. I have managed to get the connection to work, and can receive words no problem. However when a single number is sent I just get the output "int", and when I send a list of numbers I get the output "list". I understand that it is telling me what it has received, but what I'm after is the number/numbers I have actually sent. what do I need to do to extract them?
#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi101.h>
#include <WiFiUdp.h>
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS;
#include "arduino_secrets.h"
///////please enter your sensitive data in the Secret tab/arduino_secrets.h
char ssid[] = SECRET_SSID; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = SECRET_PASS; // your network password (use for WPA, or use as key for WEP)
int keyIndex = 0; // your network key Index number (needed only for WEP)
unsigned int localPort = 2390; // local port to listen on
char packetBuffer[255]; //buffer to hold incoming packet
char ReplyBuffer[] = "acknowledged"; // a string to send back
WiFiUDP Udp;
void setup() {
//Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
}
// check for the presence of the shield:
if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
Serial.println("WiFi shield not present");
// don't continue:
while (true);
}
// attempt to connect to WiFi network:
while ( status != WL_CONNECTED) {
Serial.print("Attempting to connect to SSID: ");
Serial.println(ssid);
// Connect to WPA/WPA2 network. Change this line if using open or WEP network:
status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
// wait 10 seconds for connection:
delay(10000);
}
Serial.println("Connected to wifi");
printWiFiStatus();
Serial.println("\nStarting connection to server...");
// if you get a connection, report back via serial:
Udp.begin(localPort);
}
void loop() {
// if there's data available, read a packet
int packetSize = Udp.parsePacket();
if (packetSize)
{
Serial.print("Received packet of size ");
Serial.println(packetSize);
Serial.print("From ");
IPAddress remoteIp = Udp.remoteIP();
Serial.print(remoteIp);
Serial.print(", port ");
Serial.println(Udp.remotePort());
// read the packet into packetBufffer
int len = Udp.read(packetBuffer, 255);
if (len > 0) packetBuffer[len] = 0;
Serial.println("Contents:");
Serial.println(packetBuffer);
// send a reply, to the IP address and port that sent us the packet we received
Udp.beginPacket(Udp.remoteIP(), Udp.remotePort());
Udp.write(ReplyBuffer);
Udp.endPacket();
}
}
void printWiFiStatus() {
// print the SSID of the network you're attached to:
Serial.print("SSID: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.SSID());
// print your WiFi shield's IP address:
IPAddress ip = WiFi.localIP();
Serial.print("IP Address: ");
Serial.println(ip);
// print the received signal strength:
long rssi = WiFi.RSSI();
Serial.print("signal strength (RSSI):");
Serial.print(rssi);
Serial.println(" dBm");
}
