Are there any examples of using rosstalk.sendBytesWithResponse() ?  I can get rosstalk.sendBytes() to work, but I need to get a response.

(Actually, even rosstalk.sendBytes() is a little weird in that the callback function is never called, but that's a different issue...)

Hello Rich,

sorry for the delay.  I've tested this with DashBoard 9.6.1 and seems to be working fine.

Here is a small example of a custom panel which communicates with a simple server I had running locally.

Each button would send a different integer value to the server.
You can see that the `sendAsBytesWithResponse` takes the provided value and a terminator; '0A' in this case.
The server receives the integer value and then returns a series of bytes followed by a 0x0A.
DashBoard then invokes the callback function where `result` is the data received from the server.

<abs contexttype="opengear" id="_top" keepalive="false">   <meta>      <api immediate="true">function callback(success, sentData, result, exception)      {         var resultString = result.map(String);         ogscript.debug('Got success: ' + success + ', sentData: ' + sentData + ', result: ' + resultString + ', exception: ' + exception);      }      function sendInt(value)      {         rosstalk.sendAsBytesWithResponse('127.0.0.1', 4442, value, '0A', callback);      }</api>   </meta>   <button buttontype="push" height="108" left="21" name="Send 0" top="20" width="107">      <task tasktype="ogscript">sendInt(0);</task>   </button>   <button buttontype="push" height="104" left="21" name="Send 1" top="141" width="103">      <task tasktype="ogscript">sendInt(1);</task>   </button>   <button buttontype="push" height="94" left="150" name="Send 2" top="148" width="103">      <task tasktype="ogscript">sendInt(2);</task>   </button></abs>

Hope this helps.  Best regards,

Marc, I came across this post while trying to figure out some TCP connection functions.

The code you had included the localhost 127.0.0.1 ip address and you mentioned you had a simple server running locally. What did you mean you had a simple server running locally? Was there something running on an Ultitrouch panel or something along those lines? Is there a way to load files on to a local device to setup as a simple server?
