[RTnet-users] receiving broadcast packets at the local node

[Kai M. <kai...@ru...>]

Hi everybody,

I've changed the round-trip-time example, so that the packets are send 
as a broadcast (have a look at the atachment). This way, multiple 
round-trip-times can be measured simulanously. It works fine for two 
seperate hosts. But when I start the responder on the same host as the 
sender, it receives no packets (setting the device in promiscous mode 
doesn't change the situation). Can anybody tell me why (or what I do wrong)?

By the way, I would suggest a RTnet Showroom like the one from RTAI. I 
think, if there were a public accessable Repository, where everyone can 
upload and correct examples, a lot of usefull examples would accumulate 
fast. Then, an official version with working examples could be easily 
extractet and shipped with (or site by site with) the RTnet distribution...

Greetings Kai
