Problems trying to write my own simple custom udp client lib

PostPosted: Sat Mar 14, 2020 11:09 am
by MAWMN
While trying to write my own simple custom udp client library, I am having some troubles getting it to work.

[see Code parts UDPClient2.cpp and UDPClient2.h as well as a test application ESP8266_UDPClient2.ino]

Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction ?

Problems & Questions :

    No data is being sent to the PC, because in the Library the _socketIsOpen keeps being reported as FALSE, while when having received Data the _socketIsOpen should be reported as being TRUE
    In the library defined debug messages don't work either
    I am wondering why I have to declare "WiFiUDP clUDP" to be able to use "UDPClient2 myClient(clUDP)"

thanks..
