Concussion and Arduinos.

[Robin GrahamParticipant @robingraham42208]

It’s been ages since I posted on this forum at least in part because of an incident involving a flight of stairs, a flowerpot and my head.  The stairs and the flowerpot are just fine but five months later I’m still convalescent. I hadn’t realised how generally debilitating minor brain trauma can be. That’s the concussion bit…

I’m still not confident using machinery, hence the Arduino bit. I’ve been tinkering with the things as a way of keeping myself occupied. What I’d like to do is to use an Arduino (or ESP) to control/monitor stuff and communicate with my (Linux) PC over my home network.  I don’t want anything fancy like setting up an HTTP server , TCP/IP or even UDP would be fine. But it’s proving difficult to find example code of how to do this in the Arduino world.  I’ve tried posting on the Arduino forum, but no dice so far.

Has anyone here got something like this working?  I’m OK with the Linux end of things, it’s the microcontroller end that I’m having trouble with.

Robin.
