mDNS example
Shows how to use mDNS to advertise lookup services and hosts
Example workflow
- mDNS is initialized with host name and instance name defined through
make menuconfig
and_http._tcp
service is added to be advertised - WiFi STA is started and trying to connect to the access point defined through
make menuconfig
- The system event handler is used to pass the network events to mDNS so the service is aware when the interface comes up or down
- GPIO0 (BOOT Button) is initialized as pulled-up input that can be monitored for button press
- Example task is started to check if the button is pressed so it can execute the mDNS queries defined
Configure the project
-
Run
make menuconfig
(oridf.py menuconfig
if using CMake build system) -
Configure Wi-Fi or Ethernet under "Example Connection Configuration" menu. See "Establishing Wi-Fi or Ethernet Connection" section in examples/protocols/README.md for more details.
-
When using Make build system, set
Default serial port
underSerial flasher config
. -
Set
mDNS Hostname
as host name prefix for the device and its instance name inmDNS Instance Name
-
Disable
Resolve test services
to prevent the example from querying defined names/services on startup (cause warnings in example logs, as illustrated below)
Build and Flash
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
make -j4 flash monitor
- Wait for WiFi to connect to your access point
- You can now ping the device at
[board-hostname].local
, where[board-hostname]
is preconfigured hostname,esp32-mdns
by default. - You can also browse for
_http._tcp
on the same network to find the advertised service - Pressing the BOOT button will start querying the local network for the predefined in
check_button
hosts and services - Note that for purpose of CI tests, configuration options of
RESOLVE_TEST_SERVICES
andMDNS_ADD_MAC_TO_HOSTNAME
are available, but disabled by default. If enabled, then the hostname suffix of last 3 bytes from device MAC address is added, e.g.esp32-mdns-80FFFF
, and a query for test service is issued.
(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-]
.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
