Struct ether_dream_dac_emulator::broadcaster::Broadcaster

pub struct Broadcaster { /* fields omitted */ }

The broadcasting side of the DAC.

Once run is called, the broadcaster will block and loop at a rate of once-per-second, broadcasting the current state of the DAC on each iteration.

Methods

impl Broadcaster

pub fn new(
    dac: Addressed,
    bind_port: u16,
    broadcast_ip: Ipv4Addr
) -> Result<Broadcaster>

Create a new Broadcaster initialised with the given DAC state.

Produces an io::Error if creating the UDP socket fails or if enabling broadcast fails.

pub fn send(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Sends a single broadcast message over the inner UDP socket.

pub fn run(&mut self, rx: Rx) -> Result<()>

Run the Broadcaster.

The broadcaster will block on the given receiver, waiting to process Messages.

On each Message::Second received, the Broadcaster will send a message over UDP.

On each Message::Dac, the Broadcaster will update the current DAC state.

pub fn spawn(self) -> Result<Handle>
