API
- socket.socket()
- socket.bind(address)
Create a socket object and bind it to an address.
- Parameters:
address (tuple) – A tuple containing the server IP address and port number.
- Returns:
A socket object.
- Return type:
UiFlow2 Code Block:

MicroPython Code Block:
import socket udps = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) udps.bind(('0.0.0.0', 8000))
- socket.close()
Close the socket connection.
UiFlow2 Code Block:

MicroPython Code Block:
udps.close()
- socket.recv(bufsize)
Receive data from the socket.
- Parameters:
bufsize (int) – The maximum amount of data to be received at once.
- Returns:
The received data.
- Return type:
UiFlow2 Code Block:

MicroPython Code Block:
data = udps.recv(1024) print(data)
- socket.recvfrom(bufsize)
Receive data from the socket. The return value is a pair (bytes, address) where bytes is a bytes object representing the data received and address is the address of the socket sending the data.
- Parameters:
bufsize (int) – The maximum amount of data to be received at once.
- Returns:
The received data.
- Return type:
UiFlow2 Code Block:

MicroPython Code Block:
data, address = udps.recvfrom(1024) print(data)
- socket.read()
Read data from the socket.
- Returns:
The received data.
- Return type:
UiFlow2 Code Block:

MicroPython Code Block:
data = udps.read() print(data)
- socket.send(data)
Send data to the socket. The socket must be connected to a remote socket.
- Parameters:
- Returns:
The number of bytes sent.
- Return type:
UiFlow2 Code Block:

MicroPython Code Block:
udps.send(b'Hello, World!') udps.send('Hello, World!')
- socket.sendto(data, address)
Send data to the socket. The socket should not be connected to a remote socket, since the destination socket is specified by address.
- Parameters:
- Returns:
The number of bytes sent.
- Return type:
UiFlow2 Code Block:

MicroPython Code Block:
udps.sendto("hello", ("192.168.8.8", 8000))
- socket.write(data)
Write the buffer of bytes to the socket. This function will try to write all data to a socket (no “short writes”). This may be not possible with a non-blocking socket though, and returned value will be less than the length of buf.
- Parameters:
- Returns:
The number of bytes sent.
- Return type:
UiFlow2 Code Block:

MicroPython Code Block:
udps.write(b'Hello, World!') udps.write('Hello, World!')
- socket.setsockopt(level, optname, value)
Set the value of the given socket option. The needed symbolic constants are defined in the socket module (SO_* etc.). The value can be an integer or a bytes-like object representing a buffer.
- Parameters:
UiFlow2 Code Block:

MicroPython Code Block:
udps.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 0) udps.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
