Why do we need this AsyncUDP_Teensy41 library
This AsyncUDP_Teensy41 library is a fully asynchronous UDP library, designed for a trouble-free, multi-connection network environment, for Teensy 4.1 using QNEthernet Library. The library is easy to use and includes support for Unicast, Broadcast and Multicast environments.
This library is based on, modified from:
to apply the better and faster asynchronous feature of the powerful ESPAsyncUDP Library into Teensy 4.1 using QNEthernet Library.
- Using asynchronous network means that you can handle more than one connection at the same time
- You are called once the request is ready and parsed
- When you send the response, you are immediately ready to handle other connections while the server is taking care of sending the response in the background
- Speed is OMG
- After connecting to a UDP server as an Async Client, you are immediately ready to handle other connections while the Client is taking care of receiving the UDP responding packets in the background.
- You are not required to check in a tight loop() the arrival of the UDP responding packets to process them.
- Teensy 4.1 using QNEthernet Library
Arduino IDE 1.8.19+
for Arduino.Teensy core v1.57+
for Teensy 4.1QNEthernet Library version v0.16.0+
for Teensy 4.1 built-in Ethernet.
The suggested way to install is to:
The best way is to use Arduino Library Manager
. Search for AsyncUDP_Teensy41
, then select / install the latest version. You can also use this link for more detailed instructions.
- Navigate to AsyncUDP_Teensy41 page.
- Download the latest release
AsyncUDP_Teensy41-main.zip
. - Extract the zip file to
AsyncUDP_Teensy41-main
directory - Copy the whole
AsyncUDP_Teensy41-main
folder to Arduino libraries' directory such as~/Arduino/libraries/
.
- Install VS Code
- Install PlatformIO
- Install AsyncUDP_Teensy41 library by using Library Manager. Search for AsyncUDP_Teensy41 in Platform.io Author's Libraries
- Use included platformio.ini file from examples to ensure that all dependent libraries will installed automatically. Please visit documentation for the other options and examples at Project Configuration File
To be able to compile and run on Teensy boards, you have to copy the files in Packages_Patches for Teensy directory into Teensy hardware directory (./arduino-1.8.19/hardware/teensy/avr/boards.txt).
Supposing the Arduino version is 1.8.19. These files must be copied into the directory:
./arduino-1.8.19/hardware/teensy/avr/boards.txt
./arduino-1.8.19/hardware/teensy/avr/cores/teensy/Stream.h
./arduino-1.8.19/hardware/teensy/avr/cores/teensy3/Stream.h
./arduino-1.8.19/hardware/teensy/avr/cores/teensy4/Stream.h
Whenever a new version is installed, remember to copy this file into the new version directory. For example, new version is x.yy.zz These files must be copied into the directory:
./arduino-x.yy.zz/hardware/teensy/avr/boards.txt
./arduino-x.yy.zz/hardware/teensy/avr/cores/teensy/Stream.h
./arduino-x.yy.zz/hardware/teensy/avr/cores/teensy3/Stream.h
./arduino-x.yy.zz/hardware/teensy/avr/cores/teensy4/Stream.h
The current library implementation, using xyz-Impl.h
instead of standard xyz.cpp
, possibly creates certain Multiple Definitions
Linker error in certain use cases.
You can include this .hpp
file
// Can be included as many times as necessary, without `Multiple Definitions` Linker Error
#include "AsyncUDP_Teensy41.hpp" //https://github.com/khoih-prog/AsyncUDP_Teensy41
in many files. But be sure to use the following .h
file in just 1 .h
, .cpp
or .ino
file, which must not be included in any other file, to avoid Multiple Definitions
Linker Error
// To be included only in main(), .ino with setup() to avoid `Multiple Definitions` Linker Error
#include "AsyncUDP_Teensy41.h" //https://github.com/khoih-prog/AsyncUDP_Teensy41
Check the new multiFileProject example for a HOWTO
demo.
Have a look at the discussion in Different behaviour using the src_cpp or src_h lib #80
#include <AsyncUDP_Teensy41.h>
IPAddress timeWindowsCom = IPAddress(13, 86, 101, 172);
#define NTP_REQUEST_PORT 123
const int NTP_PACKET_SIZE = 48; // NTP timestamp is in the first 48 bytes of the message
byte packetBuffer[NTP_PACKET_SIZE]; // buffer to hold incoming and outgoing packets
// A UDP instance to let us send and receive packets over UDP
AsyncUDP Udp;
// send an NTP request to the time server at the given address
void createNTPpacket(void)
{
...
}
void sendNTPPacket(void)
{
createNTPpacket();
//Send unicast
Udp.write(packetBuffer, sizeof(packetBuffer));
}
void parsePacket(AsyncUDPPacket packet)
{
...
}
void setup()
{
...
//NTP requests are to port NTP_REQUEST_PORT = 123
if (Udp.connect(timeWindowsCom, NTP_REQUEST_PORT))
{
// Setting up Async packet Handler
Udp.onPacket([](AsyncUDPPacket packet)
{
parsePacket(packet);
});
}
}
void loop()
{
sendNTPPacket();
// wait 60 seconds before asking for the time again
delay(60000);

This is terminal debug output when running AsyncUdpNTPClient on Teensy 4.1 using built-in QNEthernet. It connects to NTP Server "0.ca.pool.ntp.org" (IPAddress(208, 81, 1, 244)) using AsyncUDP_Teensy41 library, and requests NTP time every 60s. The packet is then received and processed asynchronously to print current UTC/GMT time.

Debug is enabled by default on Serial. To disable, use level 0
#define ASYNC_UDP_TEENSY41_DEBUG_PORT Serial
// Use from 0 to 4. Higher number, more debugging messages and memory usage.
#define _ASYNC_UDP_TEENSY41_LOGLEVEL_ 0
You can also change the debugging level from 0 to 4
#define ASYNC_UDP_TEENSY41_DEBUG_PORT Serial
// Use from 0 to 4. Higher number, more debugging messages and memory usage.
#define _ASYNC_UDP_TEENSY41_LOGLEVEL_ 4
If you get compilation errors, more often than not, you may need to install a newer version of Arduino IDE, the Arduino STM32
core or depending libraries.
Sometimes, the library will only work if you update the STM32
core to the latest version because I am always using the latest cores /libraries.
