<![CDATA[Send data between two boards]]>Hi, guys. I have 2 boards ( Board A and board B, all they omega2+ ) and i was thinking about the possibility to send data from A ---- > B ??

A case to use : I have a system with DHT22 sensor ( on my baby room) with leds to blink some decor clouds . I also have an Onion omega on my living room working as router with an oled who shows the wi-fi password for everyone. What is the best way or pratice to send the temperature data to my living room system ?

What are the exact requirements for the communication channel? Does it have to be extremely fast? Must it be lossless? Are they in the same local area network?

If by-wire connection is possible, I would go for a simple 3-wire UART (TX,RX,GND).

Else just use a common WiFi network and open a TCP server on B and a TCP client on A. In python that's like 15 lines of code. Using TCP gives you a reliable, connection-oriented communication channel. If you want to add security you can create SSL certificates and create a TLS tunnel instead of an unencrypted TCP connection. There's also UDP available as a datagram based, unreliable but fast way to communicate.

If they are not in the same local area network you might want to look into MQTT and MQTT brokers. It's a quite popular "IoT" protocol these days.

Something around 3M and a wall in the way. I'll try out TCP because they are in the same network. Thank you for all informations , was very helpful.
