Is there sample code somewhere to receive UDP packets?

The UDP library I downloaded, does not seem to have any example programs.

I got Processing to receive the packets fine, but how do I get to draw them?

import hypermedia.net.*;
int PORT_RX=0XC350;
String HOST_IP = "192.168.1.100";//IP Address of the PC in which this App is running
UDP udp;//Create UDP object for recieving
void setup(){
udp= new UDP(this, PORT_RX, HOST_IP);
udp.log(true);
udp.listen(true);
noLoop();
}
void draw(){
}
void receive(byte[] data, String HOST_IP, int PORT_RX){
String value=new String(data);
println(value);
}

how can we save receiving data into an array instead of string and then print them on the screen ? any body knows?

How do you want to "draw" them? If that's just displaying the string, see the text() function.

Right, I meant displaying the string. I did notice something funny though when I choose a different font or even a larger size. It displays block characters in place of the null data. This does not occur when I leave the font at default.

Default Text

Different Font Type(same effect with changing font size using the textSize()) command.

Perhaps use trim() to get rid of \n and such control chars.

Kchandr, could you post your code for the reading of the packets? I'm trying to do almost the same thing I think and would Iike to see how you did it.

Thanks.

Hi,

Sure, let me know if you have any questions. It's been a while since I worked on this though.
