Simple chat server for Morserino-32

This server script listens for UDP messages and rebroadcasts them to all other clients.

To "connect" or "make yourself known" to the server, send "hi" message from your Morserino. Server will respond with ":hi" with number of clients connected (1 means you're alone). After that, server will resend all messages from you to all other known clients (you excluded).

If client is inactive (not transmitting) for too long, it will be dropped from the list. This is indicated by ":bye" message sent from the server. To reconnect, send "hi" again.

You can also force disconnection by sending ":bye".

Additional features:

  • empty keepalive UDP packets sent each 10 seconds to avoid NAT timeouts
  • number of clients is restricted (to avoid abuse)
  • small delay is introduced (to avoid abuse)

Caution: UDP keepalive messages, while invisible, prevent your Morserino-32 from auto-shutdown!
