Sorry Mick,
that was a silly programming error.
Try again

Edit: I is obvious that it is not going to work as is.

I will have to set up a simpler site tomorrow.

Quote Am I correct that the WIFI will not try and connect until you launch the console on the USB?

That's a bug caused by me being lazy and using printf with no USB connected. Will fix in next version

Can PicoW with PicoMiteWeb be overclocked and if so how much?

There is progress. I was able (finally) to enter my 3 minimum options "System" and lcdpanel without blocking the card.
However, after entering the WIFi option, I had to restart the pico (powet off/power on) because I couldn't do anything anymore.
After the restart, I have wifi.

A little more effort and the picoW under picomite will be almost as good as under Arduino

A12 works a charm now with no console needed, just power and go!
I also like how you masked the password on the WIFI option.

Thank you very much for the changes

My attempt at hosting the MMEdit help files on a pico was a failure.
It worked well for local network use but the connections from the real world did not go well.
My Help system uses frames and the first connection requires 3 "pages" to get loaded. External users couldn't get that far.

I changed to a simple page that refreshes every 15 seconds.
That went better for a few hours.

There were a few successful connections and I assume that most of then were halted by the user, not my pico.

I even had a web crawler visit.

At 0245 local time (UTC +11) there was a page request and then nothing until 0300 when Error: Invalid address - resetting.
The 15 minutes between the last request and the rest is interesting. I have observed various times for this but 15 minutes is the longest.

The reset would be OK except, on my network/router, the WiFi logon fails and always needs two reboots to get an address. I will try a different access point and one that I can get more details from (Mikrotik).

Much of the time, once I have the WiFi connected, the bas program has disappeared so I have to reload. The flash drive survives.

Without having any real understanding of how it might work with the PicoMiteWeb, I thought/hoped that javascript might work, since as I understand it, execution is on the PC side.

I have a little html file which presents Day of Week, Month, Day, Year, Time (with the time updated second by second). This works when I just put the local address of the file in a browser line: file:///C:/dl/micromite/_picomite/PicoMiteWeb/clock.htm

When I try to serve it from the PicoMiteWeb, I get a syntax error:

>run
ntp address 162.159.200.123
got ntp response: 13/02/2023 15:26:41
String is GET / HTTP
sending page
[33] WEB transmit page ii%,"clock.htm"
Error : Expression syntax
>

Here's the HTML:

<html>
<div id="clockbox"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var tday=["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"];
var tmonth=["January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"];

function GetClock(){
var d=new Date();
var nday=d.getDay(),nmonth=d.getMonth(),ndate=d.getDate(),nyear=d.getFullYear();
var nhour=d.getHours(),nmin=d.getMinutes(),nsec=d.getSeconds(),ap;

if(nhour==0){ap=" AM";nhour=12;}
else if(nhour<12){ap=" AM";}
else if(nhour==12){ap=" PM";}
else if(nhour>12){ap=" PM";nhour-=12;}

if(nmin<=9) nmin="0"+nmin;
if(nsec<=9) nsec="0"+nsec;

var clocktext=""+tday[nday]+", "+tmonth[nmonth]+" "+ndate+", "+nyear+" "+nhour+":"+nmin+":"+nsec+ap+"";
document.getElementById('clockbox').innerHTML=clocktext;
}

GetClock();
setInterval(GetClock,1000);
</script>
<html>

Am I doing something wrong, and/or is there a way to get this to work on the PicoMiteWeb (the file is named "clock.htm")?

I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but with the a12 firmware, XMODEM R locks up about half the time, and I have to powercycle to get the ">" prompt again. I never had this happen with prior releases.

Hi, Lisby.
You'll need to put your javascript into a separate file eg "getclock.js" then add

to your HTML.
also, you'll need to add

ElseIf page$="getclock.js" Then
Print "Sending script"
WEB transmit file a%,"getclock.js","script/javascript"

into the TCPrequest subroutine.

The {} characters are being interpreted as tags for basic strings.

What size files are you shifting?
I have done 30k files without any issues.

re your JavaScript.

If you leave it in the HTML file, just double up on the opening curly brace and all will be well again.

function GetClock(){{

It just won't run correctly when you test it on your local PC if you access the file directly.

Jim--these are the files. All except clock.html I had sent previously before I flashed a12:

A:/
<DIR> .
<DIR> ..
00:00 01-01-2000 4 bootcount

2 directories, 8 files

With the doubled "{{", I now get "Sending page", but in the browser, "This page cannot be found".

@TheMonkeys -- Thanks for your suggestion. I tried it, and got closer.

I'm getting a response to the browser--but the page is blank. If I "view source", I see the html code but not the js code. The PicoMiteWeb says it is sending the js code file.

It's too late in the day here for me to be able to make sense of what I may be doing wrong. I'll try again tomorrow.

You need to replace all instances of a single { with {{.
Any html file a single { indicates the start of a variable name. The double {{ is MMBasic's signal to send a single { and not substitute a variable value.
clock.html

<html>
<div id="clockbox"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
VAR tday=["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"];
VAR tmonth=["January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November
","December"];

Function GetClock(){{
VAR d=new Date();
VAR nday=d.getDay(),nmonth=d.getMonth(),ndate=d.getDate(),nyear=d.getFullYear();
VAR nhour=d.getHours(),nmin=d.getMinutes(),nsec=d.getSeconds(),ap;

If (nhour==0){{ap=" AM";nhour=12;}
ElseIf (nhour<12){{ap=" AM";}
ElseIf (nhour==12){{ap=" PM";}
ElseIf (nhour>12){{ap=" PM";nhour-=12;}

If (nmin<=9) nmin="0"+nmin;
If (nsec<=9) nsec="0"+nsec;

I copied your "replace all instances of { with {{....."
Along the way, several keywords now are in capitals or initial capitals , these need to be in lower case.
Initial tmonth line has an extra CRLF.
else if has turned into ElseIf, function into Function.

Anyway, fixed these up and the clock now runs via the web page :)

@ Michael

Most of my pico or pico/w are runing up to 270000 . Above this Frequency it will never come back.
I try some different pc and port and also some official cable , some of my thirst test let me go up to 300000 and above. But can’t get back without start problems. So i step up the Overclock frequency in babysteps to become
S shure shot.

Thank you for that.
My java-script knowledge is zero. I just knew the { needed tweaking for the web server.
