Look up your IP addresses
Some routers allows you to assign static IP address via the admin page. You will need to provide the router with the MAC address, so it will dedicate an assigned IP address to a MAC address every time when the connection has been established.
Label the IP address somewhere, after you lookup the IP address from either the router or the serial monitor.
Download the code
Download WiFiUdpRXTX_neopixel.ino
After you download the code make sure you
Change the IP Address
Udp.beginPacket(“192.168.13.3”, 2390);
Your router will most likely change the IP address, unless you assign the IP address ti the MAC address of your ATWINC1500
Change SSID and Password
Make sure your ATWINC1500 is able to connect to the router.
The green light indicates that the connection has been established
Check the sample code for ATWINC1500 for WEP/WEP2 connections
Change your input and output
In my example, I used the potentiometer as input, then map the value for NEO-Pixel as output
You might want to adjust the input and output method and wiring for your application.
Lastly, make sure you use the serial monitor to see the TX and RX write out, make sure what you are sending is what the other device is receiving.
What’s in the code
Receiving Buffer
Get the Buffer and Buffer Size
int len = Udp.read(packetBuffer, 255);
if (len > 0) packetBuffer[len] = 0;
Serial.print(“RX: “);
Convert to String
String snum;
for (int c = 0; c < len ; c++) {
char k = packetBuffer[c];
snum = snum + k;
}
Convert String to Int
int num = snum.toInt();
Send Data via UDP
messageSender();
Receiver’s IP address and Port
Udp.beginPacket(“192.168.13.3”, 2390);
Append Data as String
//String stringOne = “Data: “; // incase you wanna pass char with the value
String stringOne;
stringOne += senVal;
char charBuf[5];
stringOne.toCharArray(charBuf, 5);
Udp.write(charBuf);
Udp.endPacket();
delay(100); // add a little delay, you don’t wanna send to fast, the ATWINC1500 is fast but not that fast

Take it Public
DDNS port forwarding
User your router’s admin page to config your DDNS and ports to forward..
Port Mapping on Mac
If you are using DDNS service on your router for port forwarding, then you don’t need this.
This is Port Forwarding on your mac,
#1 Downloaded the app port forwarding wizard for free on the app store
#2 Add your 3d printer camera to the list but clicking the Add.
Enter the internal ip address
The port number in our case is 2390
Protocol is UDP
#4 Look up your public IP address (public IP address)
You can figure out your public IP by googling “what is my ip”
Now you can live stream your printer video anywhere in the world as long as the program is running or you have the DDNS setup.
