[OpenTRV-dev] OT: need help with a sketch AND pretty DESPERATE

[Bo Herrmannsen]

Still stuck with the code....

it  can pool an order and print it.... 

but it will not carry on and check for more....

and yes i checked that the code arround ip or domain name works


but there is what is should do:

call arduino1.php and check for waiting orders.... this part works

then it should take the first pending order number and call the order data..... this works too

then it should print the order..... this partly works.... the order is printed but there is a "1" and a linefeed added before the print... and there is a trailing "B"

and it should cut the paper but never get that far


once the first order is printed it should wait 30 sec and check for more


it does the wait... but it will not discover that there are more orders.... even thou i have 72 orders to play with

it check a few times then connection fails for some odd reason 

even a restart of the ethernet part does not help, the restart will never happen


code here: https://github.com/laird/OSCommerceClient/blob/master/OSCommerce/OSCommerce.ino

please no debate whatever stuff are right or wrong.... i just want this out the door

all i want is that i prints orders and cuts between them
