Hi,  
I am running my Dronecode-based program on an ODROID-XU4 board and I would like to test it using an instance of the jMavsim simulator running on my desktop computer.  
I noticed that, when I try to connect to an ip address different from localhost (i.e. `./droneManager udp://192.168.0.3:14540`), the library reports the following bind error:

> [09:52:00|Error] bind error: Cannot assign requested address (udp\_connection.cpp:82)

Has anybody experienced the same issue? In accordance with the Droncode’s reference guide it should be possible to connect to a simulator running on another pc.

Thank you!

Here’s an answer on StackOverflow regarding SO\_REUSEADDR, which might help.

Thank you @RagnarRainMaker. In the meantime, I solved the problem by making my own udp proxy. 😉
