What is the output of "files"?

What is the code for the .bas program you're running?

Please list the html file you want to display.

HTML file ? I'm just trying to run Peters example

"HTML file ? I'm just trying to run Peters example"

Is seems you need to turn this into a file with HTML extension.
eg Remote_Thermostat.html and save it to Pico A:/
- assuming you mean the one at the top of the previous page.

Edit. In the program code I see "thermo.html" so call it that.

Quote <html>

Sorry HTML is over my head, I will have to leave this and do something more in my comfort zone.

As far as I can see all you need to do is copy-and-paste the above into a text file (Notepad) and save it as "thermo.html" on the Pico.
The program then reads it to create the web page.

I'll have a go, I once hosted a weeb site for our local golf club, I got a Domain Name and used a third party app called KOMPOSER, I eventually had quite a good site running until they got a professional to take over.

Put the file "thermo" on the pico but same response.

It looks like you didn't include the file type in you xmodem command, e.g.:
xmodem r "test4.html" and "favicon.ico", etc.

This is what I get for "files":

The PicoMiteWeb is serving HTML files. The .bas program you are running has something like:

WEB transmit page a%,"test4.html"

If you don't have a file of the exact name you are trying to serve, the command
will fail (but it looks like an error message should be provided if the file is
not found--if that is what is happening).

I would suggest ERASEing all your files and re-doing the XMODEM Rs.

Might be a good idea to do a WEB ntp -5 before you use XMODEM so you will have rational dates.
(Replace "-5" with the offset you need for your time zone.)

Beat me to it.
This bit of the program shows the files that are needed. And as noted above the names must match exactly.

If UCase$(page$)="INDEX" Then
Print "sending test page"
pp$=page$
WEB transmit page a%,"test4.html"
ElseIf UCase$(page$)="THERMO" Then
Print "sending thermostat page"
pp$=page$
WEB transmit page a%,"thermo.html"
ElseIf page$="small.jpg" Then
Print "Sending picture"
WEB transmit file a%,"small.jpg","image/jpeg"
ElseIf page$="favicon.ico" Then
Print "sending favicon"
WEB Transmit FILE a%,"favicon.ico","image/vnd.microsoft.icon"
Else
s$=LGetStr$(buff%(),1,Min(255,LLen(buff%())))
Print s$
WEB transmit code a%, 404
EndIf

"test4.html"
"thermo.html"
"small.jpg"
"favicon.ico"

Still waiting for my Pico W so can't test it yet.

Thanks Phil99 & Lizby, I got it finally. Learning veeery slooowly.

The pico flash file system is case sensitive.
That is likely to catch a few Windows users out.

A quick question.

Having updated to Alpha7, when (re-)starting, the W, the heartbeat flashes momentarily, (about 1/10th Sec) and then It just sits there.

Have I missed something?

EDIT: That being said, after 2 or 3 attempts it came good.

When I try the sample code above,

I receive the message "Error: Invalid address - resetting"
Then the usual boot message and I.P. is displayed.

What does that error indicate?

That error was the ntp request, but I'm having problems accessing
http://192;168.0.55/thermo (yes,the file is there and named correctly).

Please ignore the above post.

It was the router.

All is good, now.

V5.07.07a8

PicoMiteWebV5.07.07a8.zip

Fixes a potential memory allocation error
Bring all other functionality in-line with the standard firmware

Added capability for inverted serial signals - use 'inv' in the OPEN command (same as MM2)
Improved memory allocation for PIO MAKE RING BUFFER
At the command prompt ONLY you can now use A: or B: to switch disk as well as DRIVE "A:" and DRIVE "B:"
FILES command now deletes variable to avoid "Out of Memory" error
New command: AUTOSAVE APPEND ' appends the incoming serial data stream to the existing program. Perfect for adding library routines to new code

a8 still shows up as a7 although it IS the new uf2 file in the zip

Don't understand that

That looks better

Posted: 07:05am 11 Feb 2023 Copy link to clipboard	TassyJim Guru

alpha8 is working well.
My 'sensitive' DHT22 was getting a bad reading about one in 100.
With a8 it hasn't failed at all with over 1500 good readings.

I can make the pico lock up.
Using Firefox.
I have a small program running with a 15 second refresh.
If I tab away from the link in Firefox, I can usually tab back again and it will eventually run its timer down and request a new page (successfully).
If I tab away exactly while a page is being sent, the ACK is not sent to the pico and the pico sulks. It needs a hard reset to recover.

Is it practical to have a (possibly configurable) timeout on the waiting for ACK?

All things considered, you have come a long way in a short time.

Jim

Jim

I've also seen this lockup but can't replicate ion a reliable way. There is already a timer on the transmit which should close the connection if it fails but that isn't catching the problem.

If you can provide a reliable protocol to create the lockup it would be greatly appreciated.

Posted: 08:53am 11 Feb 2023 Copy link to clipboard	TassyJim Guru

I will see what I can do.
It takes a lot of manual attempts to get the timing right to cause the problem but I 'think' I might be able to come up with a program that does it.

A job for tomorrow.
