How to use servers from an IP address

Arduino Boards
1

Hi,
I have seen people using some kind of servers to make wifi rc things and I found the example code in the Arduino Docs on the Nicla Vision and I found this code:

import sensor
import time
import network
import socket

SSID = "BoydFast"  # Network SSID
KEY = "25kwagon"  # Network key
HOST = ""  # Use first available interface
PORT = 8080  # Arbitrary non-privileged port

# Init sensor
sensor.reset()
sensor.set_framesize(sensor.QVGA)
sensor.set_pixformat(sensor.RGB565)

# Init wlan module and connect to network
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
wlan.active(True)
wlan.connect(SSID, KEY)

while not wlan.isconnected():
    print('Trying to connect to "{:s}"...'.format(SSID))
    time.sleep_ms(1000)

# We should have a valid IP now via DHCP
print("WiFi Connected ", wlan.ifconfig())

# Create server socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, True)

# Bind and listen
s.bind([HOST, PORT])
s.listen(5)

# Set server socket to blocking
s.setblocking(True)


def start_streaming(s):
    print("Waiting for connections..")
    client, addr = s.accept()
    # set client socket timeout to 5s
    client.settimeout(5.0)
    print("Connected to " + addr[0] + ":" + str(addr[1]))

    # Read request from client
    data = client.recv(1024)
    # Should parse client request here

    # Send multipart header
    client.sendall(
        "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n"
        "Server: OpenMV\r\n"
        "Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=openmv\r\n"
        "Cache-Control: no-cache\r\n"
        "Pragma: no-cache\r\n\r\n"
    )

    # FPS clock
    clock = time.clock()

    # Start streaming images
    # NOTE: Disable IDE preview to increase streaming FPS.
    while True:
        clock.tick()  # Track elapsed milliseconds between snapshots().
        frame = sensor.snapshot()
        cframe = frame.compressed(quality=35)
        header = (
            "\r\n--openmv\r\n"
            "Content-Type: image/jpeg\r\n"
            "Content-Length:" + str(cframe.size()) + "\r\n\r\n"
        )
        client.sendall(header)
        client.sendall(cframe)
        print(clock.fps())


while True:
    try:
        start_streaming(s)
    except OSError as e:
        print("socket error: ", e)
        # sys.print_exception(e)

And I am new to all this stuff, so I need a LOT of help! But anyway I got my Nicla Vision’s IP Address and put :8080 after it but I just can’t get it to work, so please tell me what I’m doing wrong.

Thanks
Isaac

The script is too old:

import sensor
import time
import network
import socket

SSID = "BoydFast"  # Network SSID
KEY = "25kwagon"  # Network key
HOST = ""  # Use first available interface
PORT = 8080  # Arbitrary non-privileged port

# Init sensor
sensor.reset()
sensor.set_framesize(sensor.QVGA)
sensor.set_pixformat(sensor.RGB565)

# Init wlan module and connect to network
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
wlan.active(True)
wlan.connect(SSID, KEY)

while not wlan.isconnected():
    print('Trying to connect to "{:s}"...'.format(SSID))
    time.sleep_ms(1000)

# We should have a valid IP now via DHCP
print("WiFi Connected ", wlan.ifconfig())

# Create server socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, True)

# Bind and listen
s.bind([HOST, PORT])
s.listen(5)

# Set server socket to blocking
s.setblocking(True)


def start_streaming(s):
    print("Waiting for connections..")
    client, addr = s.accept()
    # set client socket timeout to 5s
    client.settimeout(5.0)
    print("Connected to " + addr[0] + ":" + str(addr[1]))

    # Read request from client
    data = client.recv(1024)
    # Should parse client request here

    # Send multipart header
    client.sendall(
        "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n"
        "Server: OpenMV\r\n"
        "Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=openmv\r\n"
        "Cache-Control: no-cache\r\n"
        "Pragma: no-cache\r\n\r\n"
    )

    # FPS clock
    clock = time.clock()

    # Start streaming images
    # NOTE: Disable IDE preview to increase streaming FPS.
    while True:
        clock.tick()  # Track elapsed milliseconds between snapshots().
        frame = sensor.snapshot()
        cframe = frame.to_jpeg(quality=35, copy=True)
        header = (
            "\r\n--openmv\r\n"
            "Content-Type: image/jpeg\r\n"
            "Content-Length:" + str(cframe.size()) + "\r\n\r\n"
        )
        client.sendall(header)
        client.sendall(cframe)
        print(clock.fps())


while True:
    try:
        start_streaming(s)
    except OSError as e:
        print("socket error: ", e)
        # sys.print_exception(e)

The IDE throws an error with the old script that just needed an updated method.

What do you mean by a “updated method”? Is the code to old? If so what is the new code I would need to get started?

I posted it in my reply.

I changed: cframe = frame.compressed(quality=35) to cframe = frame.to_jpeg(quality=35, copy=True)

I had not initially realized that thanks for the info!!
