Example for ArtPollReply implementation in order to display short or long names

[tohox]

Hi,

Currently my Artnet nodes always show up as Unknown (www.xxx.yyy.zzz) using ArtNetominator or other software which can display the short and/or long names returned by ArtNetPoll.

I've tried implementing setArtPollReplyConfigShortName and setArtPollReplyConfigLongName but neither names appear no matter what I do (sender, receiver, with or without subscribing to a universe).

Can you provide either a basic example implementing ArtnetPollReply or enumerate the minimum required conditions for it to work? Can a simple sender app also reply to ArtNetPoll or is a receiver also required? If a receiver is required is a simple artnet.parse() sufficient or should I also subscribe to a universe in order to get the short and long names to appear? etc...

Much appreciated!

@tohox Hi, you need ArtnetXxxxReceiver (or ArtnetXxxx, which includes the receiver feature) to reply to the ArtPoll. ArtPollReply is automatically sent if ArtPoll is received and artnet.parse() is called. Is ArtPollReply itself sent correctly to your Artnet controller? (Is any other ArtPollReply information correctly received by the controller?)

I did this yesterday and it works as advertised, did you define the variables correctly, for example after uint8_t universe = 1 ?

ArtnetWiFiReceiver artnet; uint8_t universe = 1; // 0 - 15 String short_name {"NeoPixel Strip"}; String long_name {"ESP32 NeoPixel Strip"};

also, you should call both functions in setup like so:

artnet.setArtPollReplyConfigShortName(short_name); artnet.setArtPollReplyConfigLongName(long_name);

i put them after artnet.begin();
