Wiser Socket Reciving issue

Hi I am trying to setup my wiser to send Ir commands over tcp/ip socket to a Ethernet Ir blaster, however I am seeing in the PICED log that after sending the command it is constantly receiving the last command.
It will continue to receive the command even after the socket has been closed and if the command is sent again it will just add it to the end of the receiving Log.

Code:

Do i need to worry about this ?
Will this transfer over to the wiser and cause problems later ? Or is this just a PICED Bug.


Thanks Matthew.

 

It may be possible the Ethernet IR Blaster is echoing the command back to you and you are not clearing that buffer (although once the socket is closed I would expect it would stop logging the buffer contents)

You can check this by telnetting in to the Ethernet IR Blaster and see whether it shows anything back on the screen after you type the command in. If so then you need to read the socket repeatedly in your logic code until nothing further is returned, then close the socket.

 

Thank you for your response.

I have tried telneting to the device and when the command is sent it only sends one completeir message and the log file continues to output the last received command even if i take the ir blaster off line buy unplugging the Ethernet cable.

Also if I send the command several times it just adds on to the end.

Even if I stop the logic engine the messages stop and when I restart the logic engine
the messages start back up again where they left off.

E.g.

WaitUntil(ClientSocketConnected(1));
WriteClientSocket(1, Dakin18DegOn );
Delay(0.8);
CloseClientSocket(1);

end;

 

Received data is placed in an internal buffer until you read it. The log prints out the contents of the buffer each scan. Just stick a read after the delay:

readCLientSocket(1, tmpstring, '');

The null terminator tells it to read everything in the buffer.

 

Fantastic.

Thank you very much for your help.
