I cant view variables from my PINK! I typed

the value of var01 is : <nb_var01>

into the html code and the page works fine but nothing shows up in the spot where the variable should be.
any suggestions?

    First, I'd change that to <Nb_var01> as it is in the app note. I don't have a specific memory that the PINK's lexical processing is case sensitive, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

    Then make sure you put something in variable one. Those are string variables, so a variable with nothing in it will show... well, nothing at all. The empty string we call it. A numeric variable in other contexts will show zero, but not a string variable.

    i tried Nb instead of nb and the stamp is feeding the pink variables. Thanks for the suggestions though.

    i tried the above methods but the problem still persists.
    any ideas? I verified that the PINK is receiving the variables with telnet and
    the variables show up fine on the factory variable page.

    I'm not clear where you stand right now, wannabe. Didn't you say the code worked when you changed the variable reference to <Nb_var01>? What is the problem that still persists.

    ' PINK_02.bs2
    ' {$STAMP BS2}
    ' {$PBASIC 2.5}
    NBVAR VAR Word
    DO
    SEROUT 8,396,[noparse][[/noparse]"!NB0R01"]
    SERIN 7,396,[noparse][[/noparse]STR NBVAR\16\CLS]
    DEBUG "register 01 ", STR NBVAR
    SEROUT 1, 16780, [noparse][[/noparse]30]
    SEROUT 1, 16780, [noparse][[/noparse]"hello register ", STR NBVAR]
    SEROUT 1, 16780, [noparse][[/noparse]31]
    SEROUT 1, 16780, [noparse][[/noparse]"quispqix telnet server VT-100"]
    LOOP

    This above reads the PINK variable register 01 and prints the value in DEBUG and on my vt100

    This one below writes my name to register 01:

    ' PINK_03.bs2
    ' {$STAMP BS2}
    ' {$PBASIC 2.5}
    SEROUT 8,396,[noparse][[/noparse]"!NB0W01:curtis",CLS]
    END

    This in html:

    <html>
    <FORM method="post" action="/test01.html">
    <P>
    What value would you like stored in variable 01?
    <INPUT name="Nb_var01"type="text"size="24"maxlength="63">
    <INPUT type="submit">
    </P>
    </FORM>
    </HTML>

    and this reads in html:

    <html>
    The value in variable 01 is: <Nb_var01>
    \</html>

    The PINK is very powerful.

    On the PINK, make sure your voltage is exzactly 5.0Volts... Even when you use a battery eliminator! mine does not work over or under voltage. my meter is reading 4.83V on the PINK! The BS2 will work from 5-15Volts, but the PINK will not. Also I output to a serial terminal. But that's not your problem. nono.gif

    slight misunderstanding..the html code is working ok, i can edit and read the variable from my custom page. I merely cannot display the variable on my lcd. Maybe i should start a new thread...
