As regards the PC...if it is a Windows pc then be aware Microsoft has very very limited support for UDP since they actively discourage its use.

Doesn't matter which OS, ultimately I would route/read it to Max/Msp.

But thanks for the heads up!

You can use a Processing sketch to receive UDP: UDP_TEST_Multicast_OK.pde

Well,
The processing 123 example may have worked on a Windows XP several years back but I think Microsoft may have crippled UDP after that time.
I can see UDP broadcast packets from an esp8266 with Wireshark on a win10 pc but I have had no success with any other software ( Ex lazarus or processing 123) it seems to get blocked in the low level Microsoft middleware support for sockets...I suspect Wireshark is closer to the hardware and gets around the Microsoft middleware.
