Asio chat client example

Simple Asio chat client using WiFi STA or Ethernet.

Example workflow

  • Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection is established, and IP address is obtained.
  • Asio chat client connects to the corresponding server whose port number and IP are defined through make menuconfig.
  • Chat client receives all messages from other chat clients, also it sends message received from stdin using make monitor.

Running the example

  • Run make menuconfig to configure Wi-Fi or Ethernet. See "Establishing Wi-Fi or Ethernet Connection" section in examples/protocols/README.md for more details.
  • Set server IP address and port number in menuconfig, "Example configuration".
  • Start chat server either on host machine or as another ESP device running chat_server example.
  • Run make flash monitor to build and upload the example to your board and connect to it's serial terminal.
  • Wait for the board to connect to WiFi or Ethernet.
  • Receive and send messages to/from other clients on stdin/stdout via serial terminal.

See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.
