ASIO chat server example

Simple asio chat server using WiFi STA

Example workflow

  • WiFi STA is started and trying to connect to the access point defined through make menuconfig
  • Once connected and acquired IP address, ASIO chat server is started on port number defined through make menuconfig
  • Chat server echoes a message (received from any client) to all connected clients

Running the example

  • Run make menuconfig to configure the access point's SSID and Password and port number
  • Run make flash monitor to build and upload the example to your board and connect to it's serial terminal
  • Wait for WiFi to connect to your access point (note the IP address)
  • Connect to the server using multiple clients, for example using any option below
    • build and run asi chat client on your host machine
    • run chat_client asio example on ESP platform
    • since chat message consist of ascii size and message, it is possible to netcat nc IP PORT and type for example 4ABC<CR> to transmit 'ABC\n'
