Why do we need this AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC library

Features

This AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC library is a fully asynchronous UDP library, designed for a trouble-free, multi-connection network environment, for ESP32 boards using LwIP ENC28J60 Ethernet. The library is easy to use and includes support for Unicast, Broadcast and Multicast environments.

This library is based on, modified from:

  1. Hristo Gochkov's AsyncUDP

to apply the better and faster asynchronous feature of the powerful AsyncUDP into ESP32 boards using LwIP ENC28J60 Ethernet.

Why Async is better

  • Using asynchronous network means that you can handle more than one connection at the same time
  • You are called once the request is ready and parsed
  • When you send the response, you are immediately ready to handle other connections while the server is taking care of sending the response in the background
  • Speed is OMG
  • After connecting to a UDP server as an Async Client, you are immediately ready to handle other connections while the Client is taking care of receiving the UDP responding packets in the background.
  • You are not required to check in a tight loop() the arrival of the UDP responding packets to process them.

Currently supported Boards

  1. ESP32_ENC boards using ESP32 boards with LwIP ENC28J60 Ethernet


Prerequisites

  1. Arduino IDE 1.8.19+ for Arduino

  2. ESP32 Core 2.0.5+ for ESP32-based boards. Latest release

  3. WebServer_ESP32_ENC library 1.5.1+. To install, check arduino-library-badge



Installation

The suggested way to install is to:

Use Arduino Library Manager

The best way is to use Arduino Library Manager. Search for AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC, then select / install the latest version. You can also use this link arduino-library-badge for more detailed instructions.

Manual Install

  1. Navigate to AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC page.
  2. Download the latest release AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC-main.zip.
  3. Extract the zip file to AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC-main directory
  4. Copy the whole AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC-main folder to Arduino libraries' directory such as ~/Arduino/libraries/.

VS Code & PlatformIO:

  1. Install VS Code
  2. Install PlatformIO
  3. Install AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC library by using Library Manager. Search for AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC in Platform.io Author's Libraries
  4. Use included platformio.ini file from examples to ensure that all dependent libraries will installed automatically. Please visit documentation for the other options and examples at Project Configuration File


Libraries' Patches

1. For fixing ESP32 compile error

To fix ESP32 compile error, just copy the following file into the ESP32 cores/esp32 directory (e.g. ./arduino-1.8.19/hardware/espressif/cores/esp32) to overwrite the old file:



HOWTO Fix Multiple Definitions Linker Error

The current library implementation, using xyz-Impl.h instead of standard xyz.cpp, possibly creates certain Multiple Definitions Linker error in certain use cases.

You can include this .hpp file

// Can be included as many times as necessary, without `Multiple Definitions` Linker Error
#include "AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC.hpp"     //https://github.com/khoih-prog/AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC

in many files. But be sure to use the following .h file in just 1 .h, .cpp or .ino file, which must not be included in any other file, to avoid Multiple Definitions Linker Error

// To be included only in main(), .ino with setup() to avoid `Multiple Definitions` Linker Error
#include "AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC.h"       //https://github.com/khoih-prog/AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC

Check the new multiFileProject example for a HOWTO demo.



HOWTO Use analogRead() with ESP32 running WiFi and/or BlueTooth (BT/BLE)

Please have a look at ESP_WiFiManager Issue 39: Not able to read analog port when using the autoconnect example to have more detailed description and solution of the issue.

1. ESP32 has 2 ADCs, named ADC1 and ADC2

2. ESP32 ADCs functions

  • ADC1 controls ADC function for pins GPIO32-GPIO39
  • ADC2 controls ADC function for pins GPIO0, 2, 4, 12-15, 25-27

3.. ESP32 WiFi uses ADC2 for WiFi functions

Look in file adc_common.c

In ADC2, there're two locks used for different cases:

  1. lock shared with app and Wi-Fi: ESP32: When Wi-Fi using the ADC2, we assume it will never stop, so app checks the lock and returns immediately if failed. ESP32S2: The controller's control over the ADC is determined by the arbiter. There is no need to control by lock.

  2. lock shared between tasks: when several tasks sharing the ADC2, we want to guarantee all the requests will be handled. Since conversions are short (about 31us), app returns the lock very soon, we use a spinlock to stand there waiting to do conversions one by one.

adc2_spinlock should be acquired first, then adc2_wifi_lock or rtc_spinlock.

  • In order to use ADC2 for other functions, we have to acquire complicated firmware locks and very difficult to do
  • So, it's not advisable to use ADC2 with WiFi/BlueTooth (BT/BLE).
  • Use ADC1, and pins GPIO32-GPIO39
  • If somehow it's a must to use those pins serviced by ADC2 (GPIO0, 2, 4, 12, 13, 14, 15, 25, 26 and 27), use the fix mentioned at the end of ESP_WiFiManager Issue 39: Not able to read analog port when using the autoconnect example to work with ESP32 WiFi/BlueTooth (BT/BLE).

Debug Terminal Output Samples

1. AsyncUdpNTPClient on ESP32_DEV with ESP32_ENC28J60

This is terminal debug output when running AsyncUdpNTPClient on ESP32_ENC (ESP32 + ENC28J60). It connects to NTP Server using AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC library, and requests NTP time every 60s. The packet is then received and processed asynchronously to print current UTC/GMT time.

2. AsyncUDPSendReceive on ESP32_DEV with ESP32_ENC28J60

This is terminal debug output when running AsyncUDPSendReceive on ESP32_ENC (ESP32 + ENC28J60). It connects to NTP Server 0.ca.pool.ntp.org (IP=208.81.1.244) using AsyncUdp_ESP32_ENC library, and requests NTP time every 60s. The packet is received and processed asynchronously to print current UTC/GMT time. The ACK packet is then sent.

Debug

Debug is enabled by default on Serial. To disable, use level 0

#define ASYNC_UDP_ESP32_ENC_DEBUG_PORT      Serial

// Use from 0 to 4. Higher number, more debugging messages and memory usage.
#define _ASYNC_UDP_ESP32_ENC_LOGLEVEL_      1

You can also change the debugging level from 0 to 4

#define ASYNC_UDP_ESP32_ENC_DEBUG_PORT      Serial

// Use from 0 to 4. Higher number, more debugging messages and memory usage.
#define _ASYNC_UDP_ESP32_ENC_LOGLEVEL_      4

Troubleshooting

If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of Arduino IDE, the Arduino STM32 core or depending libraries.

Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the STM32 core to the latest version because I am always using the latest cores /libraries.
