TCP/IP Send

Send data over TCP/IP network to remote host

Add-On Required: This feature requires the Simulink Support Package for Parrot Minidrones add-on.

• 

Libraries:
Simulink Support Package for Parrot Minidrones

Description

The TCP/IP Send block sends data to a remote host over a Bluetooth^® network. You can set the Connection mode of the block to Server or Client. When you set Connection mode to Client, you must provide the Remote IP port of the server to which you want to send data. When you set Connection mode to Server, you must provide the Local IP port. This Local IP port acts as a listening port of the TCP/IP server.

Examples

Communicating with a Parrot Minidrone Using TCP/IP and UDP

Use the TCP/IP and UDP communication blocks in the Simulink® Support Package for Parrot® Minidrones. The blocks are used to control the motor speed of the drone and visualize the accelerometer sensor data from the drone.

Ports

Input

Port1 — Input port to accept data

[Nx1] array

The block accepts data specified as an N-by-1 array. The block sends this data over a TCP/IP network to the receiving host.

Data Types: int8 | uint8 | int16 | uint16 | int32 | uint32 | single | double | Boolean

Parameters

Main Tab

Connection mode — Set block as server or client

Server (default) | Client

Set the block as a TCP/IP server or client.

When you set this parameter to Server, you must provide a Local IP port. The local port acts as the listening port of the TCP/IP server.

When you set this parameter to Client, you must provide the Remote IP port of the TCP/IP server to which you want to send the data.

Local IP port — Local port acting as the listening port of the server

25000 (default) | [1, 65535]

Enter the local port number which acts as the listening port of the TCP/IP server.

Dependencies

This parameter appears only when you set the Connection mode parameter to Server.

Remote IP Address — Remote IP address of server to which to send data

192.168.3.2 (default)

The remote IP address of the server to which the data is sent. The Remote IP address is set at 192.168.3.2; do not change this IP address.

Dependencies

This parameter appears only when you set the Connection mode parameter to Client.

Remote IP port — Remote IP port of server to which data is sent

25000 (default) | [1, 65535]

Specify the port number of the server to which data is sent.

Note

Do not use ports 24099 and 26061 for TCP/IP communication with Parrot minidrone as these ports are reserved.

Dependencies

This parameter appears only when you set the Connection mode parameter to Client.

Advanced Tab

Manually specify local IP port — Manually specify the number of the local IP port

off (default) | logical

Allow manual specification of local IP port from which to send data. This parameter appears only when you set the Connection mode to Client.

Local IP port — Local port from which to send the data

25000 (default) | scalar

Enter the local port of the client to send data. This parameter appears only when you set the Connection mode to Client and select the check box Manually specify local IP port.
