ESP32 Server

Introduction to MicroPython Socket Module

  • Purpose: Network communication in MicroPython.
     
  • Comparison with CPython socket module.
     
  • Basic socket operations: create, bind, listen, accept connections.

Socket Creation and Address Binding

  • socket.socket(): Creating a new socket.
     
  • socket.bind(address): Binding the socket to an address.
     
  • Address formats: IPv4, IPv6, raw addresses.

Listening and Accepting Connections

  • socket.listen([backlog]): Prepares socket to accept connections.
     
  • socket.accept(): Accepts a new connection.
     
  • Importance of managing backlog in connections.

Sending and Receiving Data

  • socket.send(bytes): Sends data over the socket.
     
  • socket.recv(bufsize): Receives data from the socket.
     
  • Data handling and buffer management.

Closing Sockets and Resource Management

  • socket.close(): Closes the socket.
     
  • Importance of releasing resources to prevent leaks.
     
  • Exception handling for socket operations.

Example - Creating and Binding a Socket

import socket 
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) 
s.bind(('localhost', 80))

Example - Listening and Accepting Connections

s.listen(5) 
conn, addr = s.accept()

Example - Sending and Receiving Data

data = conn.recv(1024)
conn.send(data)

Socket Options and Advanced Features

  • Setting and getting socket options.
     
  • Non-blocking sockets and timeouts.
     
  • Advanced socket functionalities.

TCP Server Example - Control LED

def setup_server(wlan_ip):
    # Create STREAM TCP socket
    server=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    server.bind((wlan_ip, 80))
    server.listen(1)

    print("tcp server is listening")
    tcp_conn, client_addr = server.accept()
    print(client_addr, "Client connects sucessfully")
    return tcp_conn

TCP Server Example - Control LED

def server_task(tcp_conn):
    count = 0
    while True:
        msg = tcp_conn.recv(128).decode("utf-8").lower()

           led.value(1)
        elif "off" in msg:

        elif "exit" in msg:
           break       
        print(f"receive {count} message {msg}")
        if count > 5:
           break
        count += 1    
        
    tcp_conn.close()
    server.close()    

if wlan_ip is not None:
    tcp_conn = setup_server(wlan_ip)
