Welcome to the Spinneret Web Server Forum! This forum is intended for any discussions relating to the Spinneret Web Server, including entries in the Spinneret Web Server design contest. Speaking of the design contest, we are excited to announce something new we will be trying out. We have hosted many contests where everyone keeps their entries more or less secret until the final results are published. This often results in contestants duplicating some of their work, even when working on unrelated projects.

With the Spinneret Web Server design contest, everything is required to be open source. Contestants will announce that they are entering the contest, post pictures and design files, and submit their final entries, all on the forums. They will also need to release their designs under an MIT or Creative Commons Attribution Only 3.0 licenses, or anything equivalent. Everyone will be able to help each other, and 30% of their score will be based on how much they did so.

This forum is also intended for use by anyone interested in the Spinneret Web Server. We will monitor this form, as we do the others, and answer questions and post new information and announcements here. Those using this forum to work on the design contest should be respectful of those who are not entering the contest.

For more information about the Spinneret Web Server, check out the product page at http://www.parallax.com/tabid/514/ProductID/710/Default.aspx and the contest rules at http://www.parallax.com/tabid/902/Default.aspx.

P.S. Everyone give a big thanks to WIZnet for their help in hosting the contest. We are both very excited to see what amazing projects you create.

    Phil,
    You're too fast. You got to the product page before I had enough time to put all of the downloads on it. Everything should be there now except for the layout; I couldn't import it and I will have have to wait for someone to re-export it on Monday.

    Welcome to the forum Larry. Can you be a little more specific? At a high level, what do you want to accomplish?

    Ok, i downloaded the zip file, extracted it. Now what? I loaded the server on the flash, hit F11 and no connection is picked up for the web page. Am I missing a step or three?

    Let's start with the basics. What is the name of the zip file? What is the name of the file loaded into EEPROM?

    The latest source files can be found at the following link

    httpserv.zip, and I downloaded the Spinnert Setup files

    I also set the spinneret mac address on my router

    After checking the numbers in the httpserv file I corrected a number of goofs.

    Now the error is : cant find com4

    The tx rx are printed one way on the spinneret board and reversed on the serial plug

    Please create a new thread to address the issues in post 15. When you create the new thread, please describe in detail your expected results and what actually happens.

    For example, I'm trying to load the program by doing [this] and receive the message can't find com4.
    The tx rx are printed one way on the spinneret board and reversed on the serial plug
    The prop plug works great with the Spinneret. Why do you think the Tx/Rx are reversed? Maybe turn the Prop Plug around?

    One board's tx is the other board's rx. The rx pin on one board receives the signal transmitted from the other board's tx pin.

    (Wow, I helped with a Spinneret question!)
