Thank you very much for your reply SurferTim.   Sorry it took so long for me to reply.  I merged my code into the code you suggested and uploaded to the Mega.  i will let you know the outcome. Again....thanks   Below is the merged code
Code:
  //web stuff

  EthernetClient client = monserver.available();
    if(client) {
    boolean currentLineIsBlank = true;
    boolean currentLineIsGet = true;
    int tCount = 0;
    char tBuf[64];
    int r,t;
    char *pch;

    Serial.print(F("Client request: "));

    // this controls the timeout
    int loopCount = 0;

    while (client.connected()) {
      while(client.available()) {
        // if packet, reset loopCount
        loopCount = 0;
        char c = client.read();

        if(currentLineIsGet && tCount < 63)
        {
          tBuf[tCount] = c;
          tCount++;
          tBuf[tCount] = 0;         
        }

        if (c == '\n' && currentLineIsBlank) {
          // send a standard http response
          Serial.println(tBuf);
          Serial.print(F("POST data: "));
          while(client.available()) Serial.write(client.read());
          Serial.println();

          pch = strtok(tBuf,"?");

          while(pch != NULL)
          {
            if(strncmp(pch,"t=",2) == 0)
            {

4  Using Arduino / Networking, Protocols, and Devices / Ethernet lockups/freezes/non responsive on: June 10, 2013, 09:44:01 pm
I am having trouble with ethernet becoming non responsive after a period of time ranging from a few hours to a day or sometimes more.  The hardware is an Arduino Mega 2560 with an R3 ethernet shield.  I was using a previous generation of Ethernet shield and bought a new shield to resolve this issue but the problem remains. I am using windows 7 IDE = 1.0.5 .  I have searched  the forum for many hours but cant seem to find a solution.  Ive found many people with seemingly the same problem but no concrete solution. I am posting the complete code for my sketch in hope the somebody will see something that could cause this issue.  The sketch is rather long and it gives me the exact info I need when not locked up. The ethernet stuff is near the end of the sketch.  I have no formal training in c programming as you will soon see from the code but it works. If any more info is needed please let me know. oh...the URL is http://67.231.227.82:8250/  I will have to post the code in two posts as it exceeds the 9500 character count.

Thanks for the replies Guys!!

Your code will turn the heater on when the temperature drops more than diff below setpoint, and will turn it off as soon as temperature gets to setpoint.

That is what I wanted to know.  I was just looking for different/more efficient/better ways to achieve the end result.  I am new to coding and the sample code in my first post is the ONLY way I could figure to do it.  Is there another way? How would you do it? (without using PID)

Thanks for the reply but I dont think a PID controller is needed in this case .  The application is an electric heating element in a large volume of water(think electric hot water tank).
My question is.....What is the best coding methodoly to keep the temperature between the 'setpoint' and the 'setpoint minus the differential'.  IE between 120 and 115.

Thanks
Frank

  I am looking for the best/accepted way to control temperature with a differential or deadband.  In other words I want to keep the temperature between a setpoint of 120 with a diffential/deadband of 5.
So the temperature needs to stay between 115 and 120.
   It seems that I must first test to see if the TEMP is below (setpoint minus the diffential) and then keep the program flow contained inside a while loop until the temp is up to setpoint.
   I posted some sample code below (that works) but I just wanted to see how others would handle this.
 Any thoughts/code/examples would be appreciated.

Thanks
Frank


Code:
if   (TEMP < SPT - DIFF) //temp is below setpoint minus diff
     {digitalWrite (TE, HIGH); //turn heat on
    
      while (TEMP < SPT)
       {
        
        TEMP = sensorsTOP.getTempFByIndex(0); //update TEMP

        if (TEMP < SPT)
           {      
          do nothing
           }
           else
         {
           digitalWrite (TE, LOW)  //turn the heat off
          }
        }
     }

I am trying to setup an Arduino with two onewire busses attached to it using the DallasTemperature library.  Below is some sample code from the Dallastemperature library of setting up 2 ds18b20 sensors on one bus.  I cannot figure out how to modify this code to add another onewire bus .   Everything I try to add another bus will not compile.
I cannot find an example on the internet .  Can some kind soul help me with this perplexing(to me) problem? Maybe what I am trying to do isnt even possible?

Thanks
Frank

#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>

// Data wire is plugged into port 2 on the Arduino

// Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with any OneWire devices (not just Maxim/Dallas temperature ICs)
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);

// Pass our oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature.
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);

{
  // start serial port
  Serial.begin(9600);

  // Start up the library

Thank MarkT

I moved the 'array initializers to the top above the SETUP (). It looks
like this....
[code][/code uint8_t  TOP_STAT_ADDR[8]  =  { 0x28, 0x63, 0xfa, 0x5e, 0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x1d };

It now compiles and functions properly.
