I don't know what section to put this in. I'm working on pico w with micropython.
How to ping or detect if certain LAN IP's are connected. I basically want to know if they froze up or died etc. Sort of a Pico W LAN detector etc.
I assume a ping might tell me this if it doesn't response or something.
Please advise Thanks

yes, I read that one too, but micropython for pico w does not have uping I thought perhaps a socket, but thanks. I'll see about installing it.
Thanks

yes
to install uping I have to install mip now to install modules or something. might get more weird
I don't have to setup server side micropython on those LAN IP's do I ? Only a client side on pico w right ?

Yes

It's sort of shocking how few people want to host a mon service on a pico vs. use them as a client/sensor interface to collect data for a host.
Collecting data and displaying a dashboard are not tasks that a pico should struggle with nor would it be tragic if it were a little sluggish? 🤔
