Send and recieve UDP commands to/from Pharos

[stonecroft]

Hello.
I use this script to send UDP commands to a Pharos Designer LPC and it works fine.
Now I need to recieve status from the Pharos controler via UDP.
Seartch the forum but cant find any good start. Someone who has an example?

Code:

value = event.getvalue()
if (value == 0) then
  scen = 'fran'
elseif (value == 1) then
  scen = 'scen01'
elseif (value == 2) then
  scen = ' scen02'
elseif (value == 3) then
  scen = ' scen03'
elseif (value == 4) then
  scen = ' scen04'
elseif (value == 5) then
  scen = ' scen05'
elseif (value == 6) then
  scen = 'scen06'
elseif (value == 7) then
  scen = ' scen07'
elseif (value == 8) then
  scen = ' scen08'
elseif (value == 9) then
  scen = ' scen09'
elseif (value == 10) then
  scen = ' scen10'
elseif (value == 11) then
  scen = ' scen11'
elseif (value == 12) then
  scen = ' scen12'
elseif (value == 13) then
  scen = ' scen13'
elseif (value == 14) then
  scen = ' scen14'
elseif (value == 15) then
  scen = ' scen15'
elseif (value == 16) then
  scen = ' scen16'
elseif (value == 17) then
  scen = ' scen17'
elseif (value == 18) then
  scen = ' scen18'
elseif (value == 19) then
  scen = ' scen19'
end


ip = '172.16.61.90'
port = 5000
local sock = require('socket').udp()
if sock then
      sock:setoption('broadcast', true)
  sock:sendto(scen, ip, port)
    sock:settimeout(200)
  data = sock:receive()
  sock:close()
  end
return data

You need to bind your receiving socket:

Code:

sock:setpeername('*', port)

My script is a event base script.
To recieve I think I need a resident script or am I totaly wrong?

Yes, you need a resident script.
