Sending TCP packets

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Is it possible to send TCP packets via a Piston? We have some commercial displays that have the ability to be controlled via TCP packets. You can read more about it in the manual here (starts on page 65): http://siica.sharpusa.com/portals/0/downloads/Manuals/PN-UH601_701_Operation_Manual.pdf
But basically you send TCP packets over port 10002 to the IP of the TV with a specific string of Hex to issue the commands.

Hi, I’ve not tried this myself, but wonder if the following may work for you?

Ill give it a shot, but I believe that POST is not the same thing. Im basically looking to sent serial data in a TCP packet I believe

My first thought is use webCoRE to send a command to a RaspberryPi, and let the Pi send the specific command to your TV.

I thought about that too, but we were hoping to not need an external device. But its starting to look that way.

Did you ever figure out how to get webcore to send TCP packets?
