Nice stuff! Can you explain what the IP address parameter to "CONNECT:" should point to? I pointed it at an intarweb site and it downloaded the site data (e.g. curl like) but my subsequent LED1 ON / LED1 OFF / KILL commands yielded "Invalid IP address." So I am guessing that my incorrect use of the IP address param to CONNECT is to blame?

Thanks for sharing!

Umm, the IP address you entered is the IP address for "EatLiver.com" - so you need to use your own IP address, the IP address which points to your controller.

I've reset your macro so the home page of EatLiver.com isn't in the response section.

To determine what your IP address is, assuming it's the same LAN as your computer, you can get your IP address here:-

Clear as mud Been averaging about 4 hours of sleep a night this week and I'm starting to feel it
I see you have posted a couple times since I hit reply and your posts do clear things up a bit.

• My computer is behind a NAT router; so should the IP be my external IP or my LAN IP?
• Does the computer at the provided IP need to be running a webserver, etc.?
• I am forwarding incoming HTTP requests to a different computer which hosts multiple domains - is this going to get in the way?
• Does your code correctly handle an IP like 1.1.1.1 or does it need to be 001.001.001.001?

With some hand holding and intensive therapy I am sure that I'll get it

Thanks!

No worries, I'm suffering from a late night out last night on French Red and no amount of sleep is fixing the hangover, so I hope what I've posted makes sense = )

I see you have posted a couple times since I hit reply and your posts do clear things up a bit.

After my first post I decided to check your macro. Luckily you saved the session and I could see immediately that the IP address belonged to someone's dot com.

[*]My computer is behind a NAT router; so should the IP be my external IP or my LAN IP?

Your external IP.

[*]Does the computer at the provided IP need to be running a webserver, etc.?

Nope. Just edit copy paste the sketch I posted on the other page - its for WiServer mode so you should be able to enter your IP address in your browsers URL bar and the controller should respond with "Ready >".

[*]I am forwarding incoming HTTP requests to a different computer which hosts multiple domains - is this going to get in the way?

Yip, that's an unusual set up but I've also just noticed that all the aps you posted on the previous page are pachube feeds or websites, you don't appear to actually have your controller set up as a server that can be accessed from a web browser like I do with mine which you can access at this address:-

http://125.236.233.39/

[*]Does your code correctly handle an IP like 1.1.1.1 or does it need to be 001.001.001.001?[/list]

The IP address can be entered as is, no special formatting is required. I've only used 000.000.000.000 as an example so take no notice of it = ) The connect string for my IP address shown about, would be entered as:-

Connect: 125.236.233.39

With some hand holding and intensive therapy I am sure that I'll get it

Thanks!

No rush, my controller is sitting around doing nothing and has it's own static IP address, internet connection and router, so feel free to use my connect string to get the feel for the application if you like.

I discovered some WiShield weirdness happening to FREE and USED immediately after an ELAPSED was called, so I've changed the command ELAPSED to display minutes instead of milliseconds.

ELAPSED was returning a simple WiServer.print(millis()); but in that format USED would drop to 1, and FREE would increase to 2047??? So millis() appeared to be doing something strange to malloc or free, but changing the output to WiServer.print(millis()/1000/60) "appears" to have fixed it.
