Web page with updating data frame

Projects Discussion and Showcase Robotics
1

Something that might be of interest for those who might want a web based robot control page. The below code makes a main web page with an iframe page that refreshes with data from the arduino. The rest of the page could contain the bot controls and maybe a video feed. Set the refresh rate to 0 for the fastest update.

// zoomkat's meta refresh data iframe test page 12/24/12
// use http://192.168.1.102:84 in your brouser for main page
// http://192.168.1.102:84/data static data page
// http://192.168.1.102:84/datastart meta refresh data page
// for use with W5100 based ethernet shields
// set the refresh rate to 0 for fastest update
// use STOP for single data updates

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED }; //physical mac address
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 1, 102 }; // arduino ip in lan
byte gateway[] = { 192, 168, 1, 1 }; // internet access via router
byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 255, 0 }; //subnet mask
EthernetServer server(84); //server port
unsigned long int x=0; //set refresh counter to 0
String readString;
