UDP multicast connection with ESP modules.

[jenya7]

I connect to a common AP with several ESP modules. Or alternatively I configure a softAP on one and connect to it with others.
Then I should create a connection
AT+CIPSTART="UDP","172.16.1.154",8000,1112,2 - if AT+CIPMUX=0
AT+CIPSTART=4,"UDP","172.16.1.154",8000,1112,0 - if AT+CIPMUX=1
But what if I want to send broadcast messages - anyone can send to anyone and receive from anyone.
How can I do it?


On a PC side I can do

Code: Select all

UdpClient receiver = new UdpClient(localPort);  
receiver.JoinMulticastGroup(remoteAddress, 50);

Is there any possibility to join Multicast Group on an ESP side?

Can you clarify what you mean by "anyone"? Do you mean "anyone on my subnet"? Or do you mean something else?
