Hey guys. Little project I want to look into.
As I mentioned in this thread, I want to make a webpage/custom web server layout and run the ez-b through this. I have html background, so designing the webpage should be no problem, but I know little of getting ARC stuff into that page. I tried setting up the http server but it wouldn't work. So, who's up for helping me try this?
Have you looked at the Node JS project one of the members wrote?

I'll take a look at it. Thanks.
If you are using asp.net to create the site. You can use the SDK.
Using the NodeJS library looks to be pretty good, if you know any Javascript and/or have used NodeJS before.
If you haven't, using the library straight-up may be tough, it likely requires a lot of writing your own JS code... but if you click the "author" button on the NodeJS ezrobot project page, you'll go to the thread where the author also created a web app, ez-web, that makes things easier and has most of the work done for you
You could use the URLs for the HTTP server function in ARC too, if nodeJS isn't what you are after. I started this with Jarvis (before he was put on the shelf).
I don't know off the top of my head what the URL is but if you used fiddler (or similar) you could easily sniff out the correct URL (however, I am sure DJ has posted how the URL needs to be made up in the past).
I believe when you start the web server, it tells you your local IP and remote IP.
[s]First off, I need to get my web server working.
Following this video, I set up my http server control, and start it. When I go to another pc on my network, neither ip works... Can I get some help?[/s] Turns out that I needed to change the TCP port to 4 numbers to get it to work.
Just for your guys's info, my plan it to try and do what node.js does in taking and sending commands through ARC to a web page, but want to do it all within the webpage code(which will use java if nesesary.) What I wonder is, is there a specific protocol or url type that I can use to send commands to ARC through a webpage, per say, on a click of a button? I found this on the ARC web server page. I believe this is what I need, though I can't get the example to work(shows "missing ) in expression" error).
