Sending packets of information from Dashboard to cRIO running Java

Hello all,

I’m looking for the easiest way to send a variable from a custom Labview dashboard to a cRIO running Java in the simplest way possible using one of the legal network communication methods specified in Team Update #5. Likely UDP port 1130 or TCP port 1180 since we are not using the camera in Ethernet port two of the cRIO.

Although it was a bit unclear, this thread ( http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1011958 ) seems to indicate that UDP is not usable in Java on the cRIO, although that may be incorrect. If UDP isn’t an option, than TCP would also work, but I’m not sure how to establish a TCP connection between the Labview dashboard and the Java code (nor am I sure about how to establish a UDP connection for that matter if it was even possible).

I would really appreciate it if someone could explain how this simple data transfer would be best achieved, and exactly what code I would use in Labview and Java respectively to make it happen.

Thank you all so much.

See here for a solution to this!
