pigpiod on different port about pigpio-client

[guymcswain]

What does pigs hwver return?
Try echo "hwver" > /dev/pigpio
Both should give same result.

[guymcswain]

Try cat /dev/pigerr& followed by above commands.

pi@octopi:~ $ sudo pigpiod -p 8887

pi@octopi:~ $ sudo netstat -tulpn | grep :8887
tcp6       0      0 :::8887                 :::*                    LISTEN      1816/pigpiod

when I run
pigs hwver
or
sudo pigs hwver

Terminal just hangs...

When I do -

pi@octopi:~ $ sudo pigpiod

pi@octopi:~ $ sudo netstat -tulpn | grep :8888
tcp6       0      0 :::8888                 :::*                    LISTEN      1946/pigpiod

pi@octopi:~ $ pigs hwver
10494163

pi@octopi:~ $ cat /dev/pigerr&
[1] 1998
pi@octopi:~ $ echo "hwver" > /dev/pigpio

It seems that pigs just can't communicate with pigpiod when its not running on the standard port?

Thanks

It seems so. Hopefully Joan will respond to your question on the pigpio repo.

Yeha, ill update my comment there with the findings here, I have changed my setup, so don't need to run off 8888, but I think it still something that needs looking at..
