hello guys!
I have set up a ESP as a TCP server (which also hosts the WiFi) and one as a TCP client.
somehow the performance is too slow. I only get one request and response per second.
could you have a look at my code please?
Server code:
and here the Client code:
I also tried just to send data from the server towards the client (without request/response) ... in that case I had 3 packets per second, but that was still too poor.
I need packeds arround 100times, transmitted to 6 clients in a second for my project and i read that it should be possible.
Regards
Stefan
