I have made a Linux program that sends UDP packets to a lighting controller. This works under both Ubuntu and Mac OS X. I configured an ethernet port to have a static IP address (with the correct netmask). The ethernet cable pugs straight from the controller device into the Pi.
The app runs on the Pi but I get a 'permission denied' error when trying to open a UDP socket. I edited the dhcpcd.conf
file as per these instructions, so I am now able to ping the box and open its web interface in browser; yet I still get the error.
My settings are:
interface eth0
static ip_address=10.0.1.10/24
static routers=10.0.1.1
static domain_name_servers=10.0.1.1
The device's IP is 10.0.1.101
, so I have also tried setting those routers
and domain_name_servers
, to that; but that didn't work either. Is there some additional network configuration I should try that includes specifying the netmask or something?
Any advice is appreciated!
EDIT - It turns out that this only happens when trying to connect to the broadcast IP (10.0.1.255), the other IP works fine. I do need to be able to broadcast though so still looking for a solution...
