/WildFire_CC3000_MDNS

Simple multicast DNS name resolution library for Adafruit's CC3000 and Arduino.

Primary LanguageC++

CC3000 Multicast DNS

Version 1.1

This is a simple implementation of multicast DNS query support for an Arduino and CC3000 WiFI chip. Only support for resolving address queries is currently implemented.

Requirements

  • Adafruit CC3000 Library
  • MDNS support in your operating system/client machines:
    • For Mac OSX support is built in through Bonjour already.
    • For Linux, install Avahi.
    • For Windows, install Bonjour.

Usage

  1. Download this repository as a zip (button on the right) and follow these instructions to install into Arduino.
  2. Include the CC3000 Multicast DNS library in the sketch.
  3. Create an instance of the MDNSResponder class.
  4. Call the begin method in the sketch's setup and provide a domain name (without the '.local' suffix, i.e. just provide 'foo' to resolve 'foo.local'), and the Adafruit CC3000 class instance. Optionally provide a time to live (in seconds) for the DNS record--the default is 1 hour.
  5. Call the update method in each iteration of the sketch's loop function.

See the included MDNS echo server example for a full example (make sure you have the latest version of Adafruit's CC3000 library with server support).
