We have a mBot Ranger with the meWifi module. We have connected it to port 5 and have used the manual to test the connection. With the USR-TCP232-TEST program we are able to send and receive messages using the UDP setting (Manual: 3.2 Connect PC to Wi-Fi Module) and the example program. In the last paragraph, the manual describes using TCP client instead of the UDP (“Choose “TCP Client” in the Local host IP at the up-right corner”), while the screenshot above has “TCP Server” active instead.
We would like the meWifi module to connect to our local webserver (using XAMPP) so it can receive instructions. We would like to understand the TCP Server settings that are mentioned in the manual. How do we send a request to the webserver (e.g. send “GET / HTTP/1.1”) and receive a response?
Thank you in advance,
