How to connect to a device over WiFi?

[olivacc]

Is there a library to initial IODEVICE using TCP ?. I am looking to control a Firmata device over wifi.

Thanks in advance

Hi @olivacc,

firmata4j contains a transport for that - NetworkTransport.

Unfortunately, it is not present in the latest released version (v 2.3.8). But you can build the library locally from the master branch of this repository in the following way:

$ git clone [email protected]:kurbatov/firmata4j.git
$ cd firmata4j
$ mvn clean install

Then you can make a project of yours to be dependent from the library you just built:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.github.kurbatov</groupId>
            <artifactId>firmata4j</artifactId>
            <version>2.3.9-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>

And use the network transport when constructing the IODevice:

IODevice device = new FirmataDevice(new NetworkTransport("192.168.1.18:4334"));
