Hi all

New member with a problem. I have got myself a Pi Pico W and have started building the Watering System Controller as per Silicon Chip article. I copied the firmware (latest v6) across, setup the wifi and TFTPed the files across (retic.bas and HTML files) all with no issues.

Ran 'retic.bas" and it fired up the main web page OK. Every time I click the GENERAL SETTINGS button at bottom of page it crashes the whole Pi Pico. I have to power reset to recover. I wonder if anyone can help me.

The Telnet session shows -
