Hello everybody

I have a problem that i hope someone can help me solve. I´m using an Arduino Uno with a Ethernet shield and would like to control outputs using a webpage on a different server on my LAN i have tried to google for eksamples but i can´t find any.

So if someone could help me with an eksample or a link to a tutorial i would be very grateful. The only tutorials i have been able to find uses the arduino as a server and i can´t use that.

Thank you very much

I´m using an Arduino Uno with a Ethernet shield and would like to control outputs using a webpage on a different server on my LAN i have tried to google for eksamples but i can´t find any.

The below server test code generates a web page with buttons that send the GET request to client/server connection IP address, to a specific LAN IP address, and thru a dynamic IP address server.

Code: [Select]


//zoomkat 04-10-15
//simple button GET with iframe code
//open serial monitor to see what the arduino receives
//use the ' instead of " in html ilnes 
//address will look like http://192.168.1.102:84/ when submited
//for use with W5100 based ethernet shields

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

byte mac[] = { 
  0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED }; //ethernet shield 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

String readString; 

//////////////////////

void setup(){

  pinMode(4, OUTPUT); //pin selected to control
  //start Ethernet
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, gateway, gateway, subnet);
  server.begin();

  //enable serial data print 
  Serial.begin(9600); 
  Serial.println("server test no-ip 04-10-15"); // so I can keep track of what is loaded
}

void loop(){
  // Create a client connection
  EthernetClient client = server.available();
  if (client) {
    while (client.connected()) {
      if (client.available()) {
        char c = client.read();

        //read char by char HTTP request
        if (readString.length() < 100) {

          //store characters to string 
          readString += c; 
          //Serial.print(c);
        } 

        //if HTTP request has ended
        if (c == '\n') {

          ///////////////
          Serial.println(readString); //print to serial monitor for debuging 

            //now output HTML data header
          if(readString.indexOf('?') >=0) { //don't send new page

The arduino webclient example https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/WebClient is a good place to start if all you want to do is have your arduino load a webpage and act on the results.

The trick is to modify the section shown below to look for specific strings and perform related actions.

Code: [Select]


if (client.available()) {
    char c = client.read();
    Serial.print(c);
  }

See this thread http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,45629.0.html for ways to turn a bunch of individual chars into a nice String.
