JsonUdpBeacon.ino
Description
This example shows how to send a JSON document to a UDP socket.
It uses the Ethernet library, but can be easily adapted for WiFi.
At regular interval, it sends a UDP packet containing the status of analog and digital pins. The JSON document looks like the following:
{
"analog": [0, 76, 123, 158, 192, 205],
"digital": [1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0]
}
If you want to test this program, you need to be able to receive the UDP packets. For example, you can run netcat on your computer
ncat -ulp 8888

byte mac[] = {0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED};
IPAddress remoteIp(192, 168, 0, 108); // <- EDIT!!!!
unsigned short remotePort = 8888;
unsigned short localPort = 8888;
EthernetUDP udp;
void setup() {
// Initialize serial port
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) continue;
// Initialize Ethernet libary
if (!Ethernet.begin(mac)) {
Serial.println(F("Failed to initialize Ethernet library"));
return;
}
// Enable UDP
udp.begin(localPort);
}
void loop() {
// Allocate a temporary JsonDocument
// Use arduinojson.org/v6/assistant to compute the capacity.
StaticJsonDocument<500> doc;
// Create the "analog" array
JsonArray analogValues = doc.createNestedArray("analog");
for (int pin = 0; pin < 6; pin++) {
// Read the analog input
int value = analogRead(pin);
// Add the value at the end of the array
analogValues.add(value);
}
// Create the "digital" array
JsonArray digitalValues = doc.createNestedArray("digital");
for (int pin = 0; pin < 14; pin++) {
// Read the digital input
int value = digitalRead(pin);
// Add the value at the end of the array
digitalValues.add(value);
}
// Log
Serial.print(F("Sending to "));
Serial.print(remoteIp);
Serial.print(F(" on port "));
Serial.println(remotePort);
serializeJson(doc, Serial);
// Send UDP packet
udp.beginPacket(remoteIp, remotePort);
serializeJson(doc, udp);
udp.println();
udp.endPacket();
// Wait
delay(10000);
}
