network stops working in code block
Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2015 8:29 pmI have a few lines of code to post data to Thingspeak.
It works 100% of the time if I just have it in a function which gets called by the tmr.alrm() function that's in all the demos.
But if I put that same code in a block (I'm new to Lua so maybe that's not the right term) like within an if statement - the netword commands stop working.
so this works -
but just putting it within an if statement like this no longer works -
I may have a not-matching end in my example because I've been cutting and pasting all day - but honestly the same working code stops working if it's in an if statement, if it's in a function that I call - anything other than "no layer - inline code" the network conn:on("receive"...) never gets any data.
I've been pulling my hair out for two days trying to fudge around this and can't find anything that works.
it is just me?
is it Lua?
Anybody seen this ?
going crazy - first trying to learn Lua on the fly with the "edit-upload-try-crash-repeat" method is really hard. Then seeming to have to program around strange things like this almost has me ready to give up and move to CC32000...

conn=net.createConnection(net.TCP, 0)
conn:on("receive", function(conn, payload) print(payload) end)
conn:connect(80,'184.106.153.149')

conn:send("\r\n")
conn:on("sent",function(conn)

conn:close()
