Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi All

Can someone tell me what data or settings survive a CPU RESTART but won't survive
a power down. Considering that my first statement in the program is CLEAR.

Hi All

FINALLY found MQTT re-connect problem.
In shorthand:...

If you Power up with Wifi ON, all is good.
After losing Wifi, program recognises it and stops trying to send.
Once in a while check if Wifi is back up, that's when the problem arises.

Assume the Wifi is back up
WEB SCAN
Look for SSID and IP
IF SSID ok, but IP is 0.0.0.0, do CPU RESTART
IF both OK and I do a MQTT CONNECT, I get "Already connected"
Ignoring this and tring to send will get you "TCP Disconnected" and the send fails.
Do a WEB MQTT CLOSE
Re-run the above sequence and it will succeed.

You can't do a WEB CLOSE before the Connect as it will fail at Power up.
Have done hundreds of tests and this is the best I can up with.
So somewhere along the line MQTT thinks it is still connected, but TCP has dropped out.

Many moons ago I clearly stated that there were numerous (too many to count/analyse) conditions related to Web interactions that the WebMite (running on a toy processor with a toy wifi chip) would never be able to deal with - you have just found yet another. This will never be catered for along with many other failure conditions

Hi All

The plus side is, I found a way around it.
The down side is, you didn't need to know about it.

I am pleased though that this "toy" with MMBasic is a great companion to the Zero.
My compliments and thanks for all your efforts.
