I'm aware of the Arduino function macAddress() available at the <ESP8266WiFi.h> library, however I was more interested to get the MAC address of the remote device which were just connected to my Webserver.

Is it possible ?

Code: Select all

void showClients()
{ 
  struct station_info *stat_info;
  stat_info = wifi_softap_get_station_info();
  uint8_t client_count = wifi_softap_get_station_num();
  String str = "Number of clients = ";
  str += String(client_count);
  str += "\r\nList of clients : \r\n";
  int i = 1;
  while (stat_info != NULL) {
    str += "Station #";
    str += String(i);
    str += " : ";
    str += String(stat_info->bssid[0], HEX);
    str += ":";
    str += String(stat_info->bssid[1], HEX);
    str += ":";
    str += String(stat_info->bssid[2], HEX);
    str += ":";
    str += String(stat_info->bssid[3], HEX);
    str += ":";
    str += String(stat_info->bssid[4], HEX);
    str += ":";
    str += String(stat_info->bssid[5], HEX);
    str += "\r\n";
    i++;
    stat_info = STAILQ_NEXT(stat_info, next);
//    stat_info = stat_info->next;
    }
  Serial.println(str);
}

Hi,
Thank you for the replies, both answered exactly the question, which is: Yes, Either client and server are located within the same local subnet ( 192.168.x. ). I apologize for the late reply, but I have not received notification from the forum system.

Back to the code, what library would be required to include?

Thanks in advance,

The function calls done in my previous code snippet require plain SDK :

Code: Select all

extern "C" {
#include "user_interface.h"
}
