      @fruiz1113 replace in line 30:
      import urandom

      import machine

      and in line ~46

      h.id = urandom.randint(0, 65535)
      by
      h.id = machine.rng() & 0xffff
      Then it works. You can also use uos.urandom, but that returns a byte array, which then has to be converted to an int, which then will by converted back to 2 byte data, .... But uos.urandom() exists in both platforms, so it might be the better choice.
      Yes, the differences in libraries are quite an obstacle, but you can deal with it.

              @kjm I tried that on my FiPy and it worked. Firmware 1.20.0 rc 11.1
              Otherwise I wouldn't have written that. SOCK_RAW is also not supported on ESP8266 and Pyboard D.
              Edit:
              There is this piece of code in modusocket.c:

              #if defined (LOPY) || defined (SIPY) || defined (LOPY4) || defined(FIPY)
                  { MP_OBJ_NEW_QSTR(MP_QSTR_SOCK_RAW),        MP_OBJ_NEW_SMALL_INT(SOCK_RAW) },
              #endif
              

              excluding SOCK_RAW from WiPy. Dropping that #if/#endif makes ping working on the WiPy.
              Edit 2: You could try just to supply the value of 3 for the second parameter, which is the int value of usocket.SOCK_RAW.

                  @kjm Try changing this line (about line 49):

                  sock = usocket.socket(usocket.AF_INET, usocket.SOCK_RAW, 1)
                  into
                  sock = usocket.socket(usocket.AF_INET, 3, 1)

                  It is just the symbolic constant usocket.SOCK_RAW, which is not defined.

                    Ahh, excellent! Wish I had your flair for this stuff squire. I couldn't interest you in having a look at my other stumbling block(https://forum.pycom.io/topic/4932/urequests-timeouts/3) by any chance?

                        @kjm This line:
                        t_elasped = (utime.ticks_us()-h2.timestamp) / 1000
                        Instead of utime.ticks_diff(), the code uses simple subtraction. The ticks_cpu(), ticks_us() and ticks_ms() timers wrap around, and therefore ticks_diff() must bes used for time differences. See also the documentation at https://docs.pycom.io/firmwareapi/micropython/utime.html. So the line in questions should be:
                        t_elasped = utime.ticks_diff(h2.timestamp, utime.ticks_us()) / 1000

                        UPDATE: since the order of arguments for ticks_diff() was changed between the master branch and the release-candidate, a safe change is:
                        t_elasped = abs(utime.ticks_diff(utime.ticks_us(), h2.timestamp) / 1000)

                            @robert-hh said in Ping command:

                            sock = usocket.socket(usocket.AF_INET, 3, 1)

                            Thanks Robert ! It works ! Finally I can use the ping command to see other HW on the same network !
                            It is my first step with GPY board and necessary to try network
                            It is hard to find the way to use micropython ESP32 scripts compatible with pycom and there is lack of information , micropython sentences for pycom differs.

                              Another question , I succedeed when I ping to external pages , and to the gateway of the router I am connected but I can not get other machines , for example router IP is 192.168.1.1 , GPY IP 192.168.1.8 , my laptop is at 192.168.1.9 , when I type uping.ping ('192.168.1.9) , I got no packets reply , may be a router set up ?
                              Thanks again

                                @fruiz1113 Probably it is a security setting of your PC to refuse ping requests.
