Still hung up w/colorpicker, but getting close.

[peeni waali]

I'm almost there with the colorpicker sketch. Many of the pieces seem to be in place, and yet... when I submit requests to change LED color, nothing happens and I get this kind of output on the serial monitor:

serial port ready
XPort ready
GET /?coloâ=%23339999 HTTP/1.1
Requested! No. 0
GET /?coloâ=%23003399 HTTP/1.1
Requested! No. 1
GET /?coloâ=%23333366 HTTP/1.1
Requested! No. 2

Also, I couldn't get the XPort Direct + to connect just using TX and RX like the example, I had to use four pins as in the sketch -- TX, RX, Reset, and CTS.

Has anyone gotten it all to work? Any ideas? Oh and one more piece of info, during XPort setup the last two choices after "DisConnTime," are "SendChar 1" and "SendChar 2" -- should those be set at a specific value?

Thanks!

huh looks like your URL is just a little wonky...id check the javascript and your browser to make sure its sending proper data

I'm actually getting the exact same error

DGET /?coloâ=%2333FFCC HTTP/1.1


I'll let you know if I find out what misconfiguration it is.

Hi Sirusdv and Peeni Waali,

I'm getting the same thing. The url was posting incorrectly, but even when I manually enter a url of, say, "/?color=0033FF" the serial monitor still shows "GET /?coloâ=0033FF HTTP/1.1".

Were you able to make any progress?

Best,
mike

Looks like I've got problems like myacobucci's in this forum thread... http://forums.ladyada.net/viewtopic.php?t=5323&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=31

I'll try futzing with the baud rate tomorrow to see what I get... onward!

I managed to get it to work by lowering the baud rate to 38400.

In the sketch for both arduino & xport, and in the xport configuration through telnet.

Arduino setup becomes:

void setup() {
pinMode(redPin, OUTPUT); // sets the pins as output
pinMode(greenPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(bluePin, OUTPUT);

analogWrite(redPin, EEPROM.read(RED_EADDR)); // Write current values to LED pins
analogWrite(greenPin, EEPROM.read(GREEN_EADDR));
analogWrite(bluePin, EEPROM.read(BLUE_EADDR));

Serial.begin(38400);
Serial.println("serial port ready");
xport.begin(38400);
xport.reset();
Serial.println("XPort ready");
}


Settings for Xport as follows:

*** Channel 1
Baudrate 38400, I/F Mode 4C, Flow 00
Port 00080
Connect Mode : D4
Send '+++' in Modem Mode enabled
Show IP addr after 'RING' enabled
Auto increment source port disabled
Remote IP Adr: --- none ---, Port 00000
Disconn Mode : 80 Disconn Time: 00:03
Flush Mode : 77

I hadn't gotten this issue sorted out before I got distracted by building a new bike and left my arduino to languish. I'm glad to see a couple of more posts -- I'll see if I can't get things running with this new information. Cheers!

[peeni waali]

The baud rate tweak fixed it. Thanks!

Any ideas of how to make it working with XPort Direct +? This module has a web server of its own and it seems to get in the way...

Well, I was too fast... After some reading, I found out, I should first telnet at port 9999 and configure Channel 1 settings according to the sketchbook configuration for XPort. It works fine now!!
