NetSimple

Network Remote Control for sending position information to microcontroller.

The purpose of the app is to control remote hardware like Arduino, Netduino, Raspberry Pi ...

The protocol is TCP/IP (Client).

UP: 0, power, 0

DOWN: 0, -power, 0

LEFT: -power, power, 0

RIGHT: power, power, 0

MIDDLE: 0, 0, 0 or 0, 0, power (Zero active)

Byte Mode: 3 positions are transfered as 3 bytes (default)

ASCII Mode: 3 positions are transfered as text seperated by comma (ended by \n)

Session inactive: Each transmission in a serated connection

Session active: Connection never closed, but if necessary automatic reconnect (default)

Zero inactive: No return to zero values after release

Zero active: Auto return to zero values after release

Sample code for a server on Raspberry Pi:

#include "stdio.h"

#include "stdlib.h"

#include "string.h"

#include "unistd.h"

#include "sys/types.h"

#include "sys/socket.h"

#include "netinet/in.h"
