Touch events ignored without ethernet cable pluggged in

[ChuckR]

Code works if the Ethernet cable is connected, I'm trying to figure out how to make it run without the Ethernet cable.

Code: Select all

   Net_Ethernet_Intern_Set_Default_PHY()  
    Net_Ethernet_Intern_stackInitTCP()
    Net_Ethernet_Intern_Init(@myMacAddr, @myIpAddr, Net_Eth_Int_AUTO_NEGOTIATION and Net_Eth_Int_DEFAULT_MAC )  'init ethernet board
    Net_Ethernet_Intern_confNetwork(@ipMask, @gwIpAddr, @dnsIpAddr)
while(i <> 1)
      i = Net_Ethernet_Intern_connectTCP(@remoteIpAddr, 3000, 3000, @socketTCP)
    wend

I've tried different ways around the while loop like just letting it run once and capturing the result to set a variable which can be used to skip the code that sends TCP data. When it appears to work, I have a heartbeat on my display generated by half second interrupts of the RTCC. This continues to work but no touch events on my screen work until I plug in the Ethernet cable.
(Using Visual TFT with FTDI's version of connect eve, resistive touch)
If I comment out these lines it will work without the Ethernet cable.

Code: Select all

 Net_Ethernet_Intern_confNetwork(@ipMask, @gwIpAddr, @dnsIpAddr)
while(i <> 1)
      i = Net_Ethernet_Intern_connectTCP(@remoteIpAddr, 3000, 3000, @socketTCP)
    wend

Is there a way to test for the cable connection and then run these lines of code?

Hi Chuck,

I gave you one suggestion here:

Maybe some our users can give you some ideas,
also try to search for some projects on our forum or Libstock website.

Best regards,
