TCP nmea over ethernet: Maximum clients - AndyBa - 2018-06-18
Is there a limit to the number of wifi clients that the OpenPlotter TCP server on a pi3B will support, feeding nmea 0183 (kplex?) data?
Are individual active apps on tablets, or just individual tablets counted as a single client? Hopefully this last question makes sense?
Thanks, and apologies if this is the wrong board!

just individual tablets each machine gets its own ip wireless or ethernet. from the sever
"Is there a limit to the number of wifi clients "
its a hundreds or more.
non issue..

Thanks Jim. That's good. My reason for asking is that my existing hardware, a USR-TCP232-500 serial to Ethernet converter has a limit (for some reason) of 5 clients per port.

i am unfamiliar with that hardware.
maybe the 5 clients were meant for sharing a printer?
should only need one client for the serial the rpi.. then it can share to any number of devices with SK..
