Previously set to wait until IP address got from tcpip_adapter, but since common example connect code blocks until both IP4 and IPv6 address received it could happen that test code might have started connection to the ASIO counter-part while ESP32 still waiting for IPv6 address |

Asio chat client example
Simple Asio chat client using WiFi STA or Ethernet.
Example workflow
- Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection is established, and IP address is obtained.
- Asio chat client connects to the corresponding server whose port number and IP are defined through the project configuration menu.
- Chat client receives all messages from other chat clients, also it sends message received from stdin using
idf.py -p PORT monitor
.
Running the example
- Open the project configuration menu (
idf.py menuconfig
) to configure Wi-Fi or Ethernet. See "Establishing Wi-Fi or Ethernet Connection" section in examples/protocols/README.md for more details. - Set server IP address and port number in menuconfig, "Example configuration".
- Start chat server either on host machine or as another ESP device running chat_server example.
- Run
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
to build and upload the example to your board and connect to it's serial terminal. - Wait for the board to connect to WiFi or Ethernet.
- Receive and send messages to/from other clients on stdin/stdout via serial terminal.
See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.
