Would it be possible to consider adding a RPC remote procedure call request to the TCP component.

If this could be done then this would be a great way of combining PIC with PC's. i.e. The PIC does the hardware
interfacing and then makes a RPC call ( like a subroutine call ) to the PC to do some number crunching or storing
some data away on disk. Having the ability to just make a subroutine call rather than having to do various TCP
programming would be great

Hello Keith,

Thats a good idea. We are looking to move to a slightly updated TCP IP module soon so I will see if it has anything that would allow this RPC functionality to be implemented without too much work needing to be done.

Thanks

I think it would be great if one just needed to add a single macro in a component to make a program function call to a PC.
