Sockets: Server RPi
import socket
s=socket.socket()
host=‘192.168.10.1’ # IP address of the server
port=62345 #choose any port between 0 to 65535
s.bind((host,port))
while True:
c,addr=s.accept()
print(‘Got connection from’, addr)
c.send(‘Thanks for connecting’)
c.close()
Sockets: Client RPi
import socket
s=socket.socket()
host=‘192.168.10.1’ # ip address of server RPi
port=62345
s.connect((host,port))
print(S.recv(1024))
s.close()
