Simple Communicator

Send a single message between devices via TCP port listening

NOTE: The listening device will stop listening after the first message is received - this program is designed for single-execution events.

Library reference

Listener Example:

using SimpleComm;
. . .
const int PORT_NO = 4000;
const string SERVER_IP = "127.0.0.1";
. . .

Listener listener = new Listener();
string message = listener.Listen(SERVER_IP, PORT_NO);
// Now use the `message` variable to execute functions as needed

Sender Example:

using SimpleComm;
. . .
const int PORT_NO = 4000;
const string SERVER_IP = "127.0.0.1";
. . .

Sender sender = new Sender();
sender.Send(args[0], SERVER_IP, PORT_NO);
