With gurux.net component you can send data easily syncronously or asyncronously using TCP or UDP connection.

Open Source GXNet media component, made by Gurux Ltd, is a part of GXMedias set of media components, which programming interfaces help you implement communication by chosen connection type. Gurux media components also support the following connection types: serial port.

For more info check out Gurux.

We are updating documentation on Gurux web page.

If you have problems you can ask your questions in Gurux Forum.

You can get source codes from http://www.github.com/gurux or intall package:

pip install gurux-common
pip install gurux-net

Simple example

Before use you must set following settings:

• HostName
• Port
• Protocol

It is also good to add listener to listen following events.

• onError
• onReceived
• onMediaStateChange

and if in server mode following events might be important.

• onClientConnected
• onClientDisconnected
