Hi All, Glad to see there is still interest in the little beastie that Ian brought to us.......unfortunately largely due to the locking up I went to the dark side and did Mauro's version (from Australia) which uses the same datapump but a faster clocked CPU, you can see it working and get details here: http://microserver.yolasite.com/ as mentioned in the text on my forwarding page for some reason it doesn't like some versions of I.E. so I suggest using Firefox or Opera and it'll work just fine. have fun browsing around............... The original articles are available :-) and the functionality of switching and monitoring stuff remotely are very useful. Dave
Very interesting looking project....deffinately wouldn't mind seeing the rest of the article....if you have it handy I'd appreciate an email dave.barrett@kodak.com if not I might just spring for the cost and download it from them...I agree I don't care for their charge for everything attitude but in all fairness that mag has had some awesome articles over the years...many years ago I built their Capacitor Discharge ignition module for my motorcycle......worked beautifully ! Dave
Very interesting......I'm interested in that too....including the new E/Net stack.....haven't been to the Silicon Chip site in years....do you have a link? Thanks for the reply by the way, I was beginning to wonder where everyone went :-)
What happened to all the folks who were on here talking about the MicroWeb Server? We here in the Vancouver area of BC Canada have a few of them working fine now with the updated software with FTP capability and turning on and off various LED's testing the reliablility of the 4 usable outputs. We are still experiencing occasional lock ups and will shortly add some code to ignore further inputs until the last requested action was fulfilled.....hopefully this will solve the problem. More news as I have time. Dave
Server Lock-Ups......anyone else seeing the little web server locking up? If left on it'll lock up at least a couple of times a day. Did anyone try monitoring the watchdog pin on the PIC or have any suggestions how ro reset the PIC if it craps out? If all else fails just have a regularly timed reset? I agree with Ramon too, it'd be nice to see and display the incoming users IP....any thoughts on how to do this welcome. Myself and a buddy currently have LED's attached to the three spare outputs of the PIC and if you go on line can switch them on and off, thanks to Ramon's stellar efforts in coding. Be warned now that is is slow to load the page initially! Dave

Hey Ramon, what transistors are you using on the little board you've added to the output pins in your picture :-) Looks interesting mate , well done ! Any details welcome..... :-) Dave
Yeah I agree SSR's are good, they may not be appropriate for all functions but are generally good.....depending on what you want to do we may be able to use just plain old MOSFETS (assuming it's DC you want to switch of course....) Dave
Thanks Ian and Ramon for the tips.....will try and look into the code a bit this next week....and maybe with luck can get it going with the watchdog like Ramon.... Thanks again guys......Dave
