I am trying to connect my Arduino Nano Connect RP2040 with my machine using Python (3.8.8). I want to use WiFi communication protocol and I am currently working on a client-server socket.
Since I am not so familiar with this communication protocol I am following this thread which looks to perform good results. Of course, this thread talks about Ethernet and I am readapting using WiFiNina library which has been developed by Arduino in order to use the module.
Here the code I am running on Arduino:
#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFiNINA.h>
#include <ArduinoJson.h>
// Enter a MAC address and IP address for your controller below.
// The IP address will be dependent on your local network:
byte mac[] = {
0x08, 0x3A, 0xF2, 0xB1, 0x9D, 0xE0 };
IPAddress ip(192,168,43,98);
// Enter the IP address of the server you're connecting to:
IPAddress server(192,168,0,4);
// Initialize the WiFi client library
// with the IP address and port of the server
WiFiClient client;
char ssid[] = "xxxxx"; // the name of your network
char username[] = "xxxxxxx";
char pass[] = "xxxxxxx";
void setup() {
// start the Wifi connection:
WiFi.beginEnterprise(ssid, username, pass);
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
}
// give the Ethernet shield a second to initialize:
delay(1000);
Serial.println("connecting...");
// if you get a connection, report back via serial:
if (client.connect(server, 13380)) {
Serial.println("connected");
}
else {
// if you didn't get a connection to the server:
Serial.println("connection failed");
}
}
void loop()
{
//JSON stuff
StaticJsonBuffer<200> jsonBuffer;
JsonObject& root = jsonBuffer.createObject();
root["sensor"] = "gps";
root["time"] = 42;
JsonArray& data = root.createNestedArray("data");
data.add(48.756080);
data.add(2.302038);
char json[100];
root.printTo(json);
Serial.print(json);
// if there are incoming bytes available
// from the server, read them and print them:
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
Serial.print(c);
}
// as long as there are bytes in the serial queue,
// read them and send them out the socket if it's open:
if (client.connected()) {
client.print(json);
}
// if the server's disconnected, stop the client:
if (!client.connected()) {
Serial.println();
Serial.println("disconnecting.");
client.stop();
// do nothing:
while(true);
}
}
I have used some functions from WiFiNina (for example .beginEnterprise()
in order to connect Arduino to the network).
For what server concerns, here the code in Python:
import socket
import sys
import json
# host = '127.0.0.1'
host = '192.168.0.4'
port = 13380
address = (host, port)
server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server_socket.bind(address)
server_socket.listen(5)
# server_socket.connect(address)
print ("waiting for a connection . . .")
conn, address = server_socket.accept()
print ("Connection established: "), address
while True:
output = conn.recv(84048);
if output.strip() == "disconnect":
conn.close()
sys.exit("Disconnect message received - terminate the connection")
conn.send("dack")
elif output:
print(output)
data = json.load(output)
print(data)
I am not interested in sending JSON data, like I have already mentioned I am just readapt the code in thread. I actually need to send data in real-time, but step-by-step :-)
The problem is that I cannot establish the connection between Arduino (client) and Python (server).
From server part, I actually got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "server_arduino.py", line 18, in <module>
server_socket.bind(address)
OSError: [WinError 10049] The requested address is not valid in its context
For some reasons which I actually did not understand yet, if I would change host
in 127.0.0.1 (following suggestions here) the server part starts to work, and it stucks in waiting for a connection . . .
printed in my console, because it needs a client to connect.
At this stage, running my Arduino code I got this:
connecting...
connection failed
{"sensor":"gps","time":42,"data":[48.75608,2.302038]}
disconnecting.
So, it does mean to me that I was able to connect to WiFi, but not to server.
Does anyone give me any suggestions?
I know I am really beginner and any suggestions would be really appreciated.
