Ethernet : UDP.parsePacket()

#### Description

Checks for the presence of a UDP packet, and reports the size. parsePacket() must be called before reading the buffer with UDP.read().

#### Syntax

UDP.parsePacket();

#### Parameters

None

#### Returns

int: the size of a received UDP packet

#### Example

#include <SPI.h> // needed for Arduino versions later than 0018
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <EthernetUdp.h> // UDP library from: bjoern@cs.stanford.edu 12/30/2008
// Enter a MAC address and IP address for your controller below.
// The IP address will be dependent on your local network:
byte mac[] = {
0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
IPAddress ip(192, 168, 1, 177);
unsigned int localPort = 8888; // local port to listen on
// An EthernetUDP instance to let us send and receive packets over UDP
EthernetUDP Udp;
void setup() {
// start the Ethernet and UDP:
Ethernet.begin(mac,ip);
Udp.begin(localPort);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// if there's data available, read a packet
int packetSize = Udp.parsePacket();
if(packetSize)
{
Serial.print("Received packet of size ");
Serial.println(packetSize);
}
delay(10);
}
