<![CDATA[UDP Broadcast address problem]]>If I use an address of say 192.168.1.255 with udp.send to broadcast a message to my subnet, or anything ending in 255, I am getting the following

Error: EACCES (permission denied)

Specific non broadcast IP address do work.. and RX is working OK from broadcast. What am I doing wrong ?

Working now.

Great job with this API - just another vote for MQTT client support in the future

Then you can send messages using send.
FYI, the API is made to be compatible with Node.js API https://nodejs.org/api/dgram.html.
