This past week I was able to get the Raspberry Pi device to communicate with my personal windows computer on my local network, via a simple Python program that I based off of what I found here: http://ilab.cs.byu.edu/python/socket/echoserver.html
I adapted it a little for Python 3.2 and here is what I ended up with:
#client example
import socket
client_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
client_socket.connect(('192.168.1.11', 50000))
while 1:
data = "0"
print("While 1")
if ( data == 'q' or data == 'Q'):
client_socket.close()
break;
else:
data = input( "SEND( TYPE q or Q to Quit):")
strData = bytes(data, 'UTF-8')
if (data != 'Q' and strData != 'q'):
client_socket.send(strData)
data = client_socket.recv(1024)
print ("RECIEVED:" , data)
else:
client_socket.send(strData)
client_socket.close()
break;
And:
#!/usr/bin/env python
#Server Example
import socket
host = '192.168.1.133'
port = 50000
backlog = 5
size = 1024
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.bind((host,port))
s.listen(backlog)
while 1:
client, address = s.accept()
print ("Connection!")
data = client.recv(size)
print("Got data")
if data:
print("Sending data")
client.send(data)
print("Sent data")
client.close()
print("Closed")
I added a lot of print statements so I could trace how the code was running as this was my first experience with the Python language. I didn’t encounter too many snafus making this happen except for changing “raw_input” to “input” and casting it to bytes.
Here is a screenshot of my code after execution:
