Hey there... Getting pretty frustrated. My code returns that it successfully sent the GET request, however I should get a phone call if it does. I know that it is an programming problem. I have censored out certain URLs in the code. Here is my code:

Code:

/*
 

#include <SPI.h>

#include <Keypad.h>
const byte ROWS = 4;
const byte COLS = 3;
const int DELAY_VAL = 2;

char keys[ROWS][COLS] = {
   {'1','2','3'}
  ,{'4','5','6'}
  ,{'7','8','9'}
  ,{'*','0','#'}
}; // map out the keys

// map out the pins
byte rowPins[ROWS] = {5,6,7,8};
byte colPins[COLS] = {2,3,4};

Keypad keypad = Keypad(makeKeymap(keys), rowPins, colPins, ROWS, COLS);

byte mac[] = { 0x90, 0xA2, 0xDA, 0x04, 0x00, 0x8D }; //physical mac address
char serverName[] = "api.tropo.com"; // zoomkat's test web page server

// instantiate a network client
EthernetClient client;
int buttonState = 0; // soft reset button state
String phoneNumber = "";
String clip = "";

void setup()
{
  // start the serial library:

}

void loop()
{
  ////digitalWrite(softResetPin, LOW);

Which Aduino do you have?, who is the LCD attached to it?

Uno R3, the lcd is here: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9395

Does the "phone call" thing work correctly when you perform the identical GET request from the browser?

You sketch prints out the response to the HTTP GET request. Does that show the same response you get when you used the browser to do the GET?

[Reply #4 on:]

I think you should be using softSerial on pins other than 0+1, so that you can use Serial for debugging.

[Reply #5 on:]

Please post all of the response you get from the sketch.

[Reply #6 on:]

Please post all of the response you get from the sketch.

So the response is totally correct. It does not show the output of the GET request. The GET request DOES work in a browser. The response serial is just successful and then it says Great success!

How do you know the response is correct, if you haven't seen it?

This code looks as if it prints the response to the serial monitor:

Code:

  while (client.connected() || client.available()) { //connected or data available
    char c = client.read(); //gets byte from ethernet buffer
    Serial.print(c); //prints byte to serial monitor
  }

Why is there no output from that code?

[Reply #8 on:]

See, that's the problem. I have no idea why! It goes through and says "success" or whatever, but never ACTUALLY sends the GET request!

Well, I don't know whether it's sending it or not, and I don't suppose you do either.

You need to sort out sendGET() so it tells you what actually happened during the process of sending the request and receiving the response. So far you haven't posted any evidence to prove that the function is even being called at all.

[Reply #10 on:]

Its not sending it, but it acts like it did send it successfully. I will try to see what debug I can get.

Are you using a proxy?

If you can get nc (or netcat) working on your system you can echo the messages sent to a local port, e.g.

Code:

nc -l 8000

[edit] Then change your parameters to connect to localhost your system's IP address port 8000 and see what happens.

Eh, not interested. I just want to know why the current code doesn't work.

[Reply #13 on:]

It is required that you start the ethernet connection with Ethernet.begin(mac). You mention it with a comment, but never start it. I added it below.

Code:

void setup()
{
  // start the serial library:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  // set display brightness
  Serial.write(0x7C);
  Serial.write(157);
  // set screen size in case LCD gets derpy...
  Serial.write(0xFE);
  Serial.write(6);
  Serial.write(0xFE);
  Serial.write(4);
  delay(4000);

  // start the Ethernet connection:
  if(!Ethernet.begin(mac)) Serial.println("ethernet failed");
  else Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());

  // set up soft reset button
  ////attachInterrupt(0, softReset, CHANGE);
  // clear screen
  clearDisplay();
}

Fine. I took the liberty of modifying my original suggestion because it was wrong.

Perhaps you might be more interested in persistent connections under HTTP/1.0.
