MOD54415 DNS Communication

Post by nicobari »

Hi,
So far in my life I have only worked with protocols like Serial, SPI, I2C and don't have much knowledge about networking. For my robot I have 3 Netburners and I want to use DNS protocol to communicate between them and the main single board computer. This will help me keep the serial free for lower level sensors which talk via serial port. I found a DNS code example in the example folder of MOD54415 which basically tries to resolve a web address. Is there an example which shows how to setup and run communication between two devices using DNS protocol in MOD54415?

Or I am completely wrong and it would be easier to use some other protocol or DNS doesn't mean what I think it means. May UDP is a better solutionh?

Thanks in Advance,
TM

DNS is domain name system...

used to turn www.somesite.com into an IP address....

you want tcp or udp....

Do you want the comms to be one to one or one to many?
Do you want to communicate a stream or a packet?
