SendText

[gpspelle]

Hi,

After reading this incredible Library, I am not sure yet about the send message process. As far as I understood, the example that you gave in your main.py file, you send a reply whenever you have received a message. But how should I do to send a message even I didn't get a message in the first place?

Thanks!

Hello @gpspelle,

Could you use MicroWebSrv2 lib instead of MicroWebSrv 👍
(https://github.com/jczic/MicroWebSrv2)

You can check the OnWSChatTextMsg() function in main.py who is used to send msg to all WebSockets connections (for the chat example) registered in _chatWebSockets list.
You can first register websockets object (connections) in an array and after, send messages when you want (by a timer or any event).
It's ok for you?

Yeah, I'll try to use it, but I don't know if this will solve my problem in the end.

And what's your problem exactly?

Hi Gabriel, I had the same issue.
What you could do is:

def _acceptWebSocketCallback(webSocket, httpClient) :
print("WS ACCEPT")
global WS
WS = webSocket # Save socket access point for external use
webSocket.RecvTextCallback = _recvTextCallback
webSocket.RecvBinaryCallback = _recvBinaryCallback
webSocket.ClosedCallback = _closedCallback

WS.SendText("Hi")
