import socket

host = ‘192.168.178.75’ # replace with the IP address of your UR5e

port = 30002

s = socket.socket(socket.AF\_INET, socket.SOCK\_STREAM)

s.connect((host, port))

s.send(“Anirudh\_Gowda\n”.encode())

data = s.recv(1024)

s.close()

print(“Received”, repr(data))

**I am trying to send a hex string, but there a normal string from my PC to a UR5e, and i want the robot to recive the string give me a popup after checking the connection is established. For this the URscript that i am using is as follows.**

host = “192.168.178.75”  
port = 30002

socket\_open(host, port)

while True:  
data = socket\_read\_ascii\_string()

if data == “Anirudh\_Gowda”:  
popup(“Message received: Anirudh\_Gowda”)

sleep(0.1)

socket\_close()

**But currently i am not successful in reading the string, is there any suggestion on what i should change and redo???**
