I have a PNS with a Picaxe connected to it. The PNS is powered from the ribbon cable to the Picaxe, so the 9V DC power plug is unused. Everything seems fine, except that sometimes the web interface dies, in that all HTTP connections are then refused. The Picaxe is still able to access the I2C bus to get the time (which keeps advancing, so the clock is ok) and read/write the I2C RAM I have attached. So the PNS is working on the I2C side but not the web interface side.
When the PNS goes into this state, two black blobs appear on the LCD display after the IP address.
With the setup spread out on the bench, and the Picaxe programming interface connected to a PC for debugging, I reckon it happens much more often but I still can't get it to repeat reliably. Disconnecting the serial cable, closing the terminal window etc seem to have something to do with it.
Anyone seen anything similar? Ideas on how to make it more repeatable??
Cheers
