Hi All,
I recently purchased a new WiFly shield from sparkfun. So far I’m really liking it. I loaded up the WiFly speak sketch and all is well except for when I type some words and hit submit. When hitting submit the page does NOT reload. I’ve tried Chrome and IE8 - both give the same problem. Is it my browser?
My plan is to eventually allow a user to go to the web page hosted on my project using their browser, enter some settings, submit them back to the ardunio and have the project use the users newly posted settings. Given that I can’t even post using the demo, I’m a bit concerned. Anyone else run into this issue?
I’m using my wifly as a server as well. Ive had to add lots of delays in my code (not using flow contro) and when a page loads up, I need to wait a few seconds before interacting with the webpage. if the wifly gets a new connection after the page loads, you cant press buttons on your page, because the wifly will currently be working with an open connection.
The place where I ran into this the most was a browsers request for favicon. The page would load, and as soon as I closed the connection, my browser would open another connection to the wifly and request the site icon. i fixed that by sending the favicon data directly in the html file using URI. now when the page is done loading, its actually done loading.
anyways… try to load up your page, wait 10 seconds, then hit submit. You should analyze the output of the wifly if you have a spare serial port to see whats going on.
