Thanks for confirming I was not going mad.
Is that something us mere mortals can see or do you need a professional licence to see it.

Is the length a byte? This would limit it to 0..255.

Hi,
FC allows me to create a string with a length of 350, the program shows the captured length of the incoming string is 333 so it seems that there is an issue with SendString with strings longer than 255 which is out of my control.

Hi, I hope this is a simple one as an example might be difficult to provide, I have attached the FC file but it would also require the DB and a couple of PHP files to actually work. I have been testing the example with Chipfryer for retrieving values from a DB, it does not work for me and in the pro...

So following on from Chipfryers excellent example I needed to get the information out of the DB and onto a web page. I know it is not directly related to FC but I think it is relevant and hopefully it will save people hours and hours of trawling through books and the internet for what always seemed ...

Just for completeness I have recreated an issue where wireshark showed the packet showing the string which was as sent but the database did not update at all. Here is the wireshark image showing the sent string. wireshark error.jpg If you look after the packet you will notice (I did not originally) ...

If it does not work straight away (which is why I thought of doing this update) I found Wireshark a good tool. There is a whole load of data flying around your network so I set up a filter for just what I needed. I was also only sending every minute so without it I was inundated with irrelevant stuf...

I made these mistakes so you don't have to. I have to say I am no way as good at writing a document as Chipfryer but hopefully you will be able to learn from my mistakes. Basically I thought I would include all (or the ones I can remember) of the pitfalls I came into when trying to modify the exampl...

Just another thought, how about adding a "Hybrid" selection button. You could enter 3.500 and in the background it is treated as a string and the 3 and 500 are then seperated and used for the timebase.

Bob

Hi,
I see your point on using FP, maybe another idea is you could do enter something like 3s 500ms and it gets handled in the background. Just a thought.

Bob

Hi, I wonder why there is a limit of 2000 milliseconds and only integers allowed for seconds in the delay command. I would like to have a 3.5 second delay so I have to do 3 seconds and then 500ms which just seems a bit messy. Is it possible to either allow a greater range for milliseconds or better ...
