Hey guys,

 

I successfully updated my N+'s firmware to 4.2.0.1, but now my webserver code doesn't run anymore.

I can give you the following debugging outputs:

 

Micro Framework Device Deployment:

So the deploying should work out.

After that I get the following output in Debug:

What is it all about the "needs assembly"? I think it should have all these on it because the build and deployment don't give an error.

 

Can anyone give me further infos?

 

Thanks in advance!

WAG:  is it the version number of the precompiled libs?

 

Assembly: JSONLib (1.0.0.0) needs assembly 'mscorlib' (4.1.2821.0)  

whereas

 

Querying device assemblies... Found Assembly mscorlib 4.2.0.0  

???

[NeonMika / Markus VV.]

You're the man!

I updated my framework code and my runnable code to deploy to 4.2, but not the depending libs... After I changed all libs to 4.2 it works out.

 

Thanks a bunch!

awesome.  and I look forward to using your web server at some point in the near future.

[NeonMika / Markus VV.]

Yeah, that's great.

Just got a netbios nameservice-class working, so you don't have to use your netduino's ip, instead you can give it a "network name".

if you will wait about a week, I will also release an open source PC command tool, so you can send basic commands like setting / reading pin status and pwm via your PC over network

I hope that I will also find time to make 1 or 2 videos on how to use the tool and how to code your own webservices for the netduino.

University can wait

Haha, just kidding, but from next monday on I have 2 weeks holiday, so I hope I will get some things done.

cool.  It will probably be a month before I even start to look at adding HTTP server function.  That being said, let me ask this provocative question.  Well, some background first:

*  I do networking over ethernet a little, but much more commonly over a kooky GSM modem

*  the modem has an embedded TCP/IP stack, so the device is reachable via the Internet, but presents itself to the board as a serial device and you do AT commands to interact with it.

*  As such, you don't use sockets to do the TCPIP.  I have already written code to abstract the modem and present an API that is Socket-esque, so the rest of my protocol handler can easily snap on top of a real socket or my bogosocket.  However this is client mode, and it's a customer protocol anyway, but I wanted to explain the design a little so you can visualize. *  the modem supports a server mode as well, with a single incoming connection at a time, which is fine for my application.

 

What I would /like/ to do is have an HTTP server implementation that is minimally coupled to any underlying Socket except for maybe in a well-defined location where read, write, and maybe a check for connectivity is done.  That way I _should_ be able to that implementation to my modem code with minimal surgery.

 

So, now the question:  do you think that the NeonMika is tightly or losely coupled to the underlying socket stuff?  Obviously I can review the code myself, but thought I'd ask as an expedient while I'm working on other parts of the system.

 

Thanks!  And have fun on vacation!

What I could think of is that you could write something like a socket wrapper class (like you describes).

I don't use that much different socket methods. You would have to write a Send as well as a Receive mmethode accepting buffers, offset, ect.

To know the exact parameter list you should have a look at the Server.cs file in NeonMika.Webserver.

Further you should have a method (I think it is called Available, not sure) which returns the number of bytes waiting to be read.

I think the server doen't use more than this 3 methods.

All you had to do is to replace all "Socket" variables and change them to "GsmSocket".

 

So I think it shouldn't be that hard.

groovy; good news.  It will be about two months before I get to that step, so I have time to research.  Unless of course web services support becomes a priority again, haha.  Thanks for the pointers on where to look and what the scope would be.

Keep up the good work, people do appreciate it!

Hey Dave.

Just wanted to tell you that the NeonMika.NetduinoControl was just released a few moments ago here: http://forums.netdui...rclientlibrary/

 

So when it comes to your networking tasks you will want to probably have a look at it
