Udp error codes listed anywhere?

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,

OK so I have a Photon app (its no longer a simple one), which used to be able to send UDP packets, but now returns -26 to sendPacket.

Are these codes actually defined somewhere please ???.

Due to ‘other issues’ with lost memory (in the OS caused by networking issues - I believe ;-)) I have made quite a few changes since knowing this was working. I am also out of country so have a completely different network setup :-((.

If I knew what the error code is trying to tell me - I might have a chance at finding what is now causing this error …

Many Thanks

Best Regards

Hi,

Well no response and I trawled the source code and can only find an undocumented reference to a WICED code 26 meaning INVALID_SOCKET.

Anyway - I resolved the problem by reviewing my code.

Since going into Manual mode (due to other issues) I had not checked if ALL my network dependent code was run AFTER connecting to the cloud etc.

So I had one Init function which called begin on my UDP :-O. When I moved that code to AFTER cloud connection - my UDP is working again ;-).

Hope this might help someone else…

Can anyone clarify what the -1 error “PENDING” means?

I am not completely sure but I believe it means that the WICED layer did not have a packet buffer to handle your request.

Could you be running into this problem where if you send packets back-to-back to the same host you can have buffer problems? Another case is trying to use ARP resolution with many hosts all at once and the ARP packet buffers are not returned to the pool for some time.

Can you tell us more about how you are provoking this error?
