    YES !!! Finally I have complete C code for WIC64. Only took me the better part of the night.........

    Mind to share? :)

    Sure, I will just clean it up and then it will be uploaded to my GitHub. I´ll post here when uploaded.

    Nice, Thanks!

    Sounds great! - communication examples of my XC-Basic video were helpful for testing the new C library?

    Absolutely crucial to my success.

    Are there any plans on expanding the feature list of WIC64 to include server side functions like opening and listening on a socket on a specific TCP or UDP port and receive a byte stream ?

    TCP Stream works.

    TCP mit dem WiC64

    Hallo,

    ich werkle so ab und an an einem Gopher Client für das WiC64. Am c128. Natürlich.

    Gopher baut nicht auf HTTP auf, sondern auf einfaches TCP.

    Dh man macht OPEN auf den host:port, sendet dann die gewünschte Seite als Plaintext dort hin (\r\n für die Startseite), und kriegt dann eine ASCII response.

    Ich mach also TCP_OPEN auf host:port, dann TCP_WRITE \r\n und dann TCP_READ.

    Nun ist es laut Debug-Log so, dass die Daten in 240 Byte Paketen ankommen. Kein Problem, dachte ich.
    Ich wollte alle…

    UDP not, afaik.

    you can connect to a tcp socket an get a byte stream and you can send and recieve udp packages

    Saw this in the docs but I trust you more. is there docs on how to do it?

    Code
    UDP commands
0x0a, 0x0b, 0x0e, 0x1e, 0x1f
The UPD commands have always been marked as "work in progress" and have never been used by any programms as far as we are aware of. We may implement UDP support in the future, should the need arise.

    I was more thinking the other way around. Can you open a server socket on the WIC64 and listen to a port, but it seems today the WIC64 can only act as client and connect to a port.

    If you like you can grab the WIC64-CC65 package from my GutHub space. Please test, comment and give me suggestions and so on.

    nope, thats not possible atm, i imagine you'd have a hard time keeping track of multiple connections anyway?

    It´s just that some of the software I want to port works in server mode. Maybe I should have a look at the WIC64 firmwre and see what is possible to expand ?

    i don't know what you want to port, maybe a server part would be neneficial, so that clients don't have to hassle with portforwarding and GCNAT?

    Yes, I’ll have a look at the firmware tonight.

    Even if using the Wic64 as a server turns out to be too difficult, being able to have multiple connections open as a client might still come in handy.
    For example when printing over TCP RAW on port 9100. A second connection to telnet would allow for querying printer status information, etc (for those printers and printservers that support this)

    Printing over TCP works, I did that here: Please login to see this link.

    The WIC64 firmware utilizes Arduino Wifi library, but focuses on the client side of things using WiFiClient code.

    I’ve been looking briefly at both the firmware and the Arduino library. I could look at enhancing the firmware by making use of the WiFiServer code if desired.
