Hi all,
There's an available version of the wifi lib test v0.3 at akkit.org/dswifi/wifi_lib_test_.nds
(Added by request: akkit.org/dswifi/wifi_lib_test_.ds.gba)

This is a work in progress, several menu items do not work, but they will all be filled in when the release is done.

At present:
* WEP works
* DNS works
* Outgoing TCP Works!
* incoming TCP is done, no test yet
* DHCP Lives!
* Connecting via WFC settings works!
and,
* packet capture option in menu doesn't work yet

Feel free to experiment and leave your feedback here. I'll be updating this thread when more features are added
In addition, I'll also be posting updates at a fairly new blog I've created. See blog.akkit.org

If you want to test TCP but don't have a telnet server to connect to or don't know how to construct a valid HTTP request....
To download the website from a web server, connect to a site and type the following in (without quotes):
"GET / HTTP/1.0" followed by tapping CR and CR

Congratulations and keep up the good work Stephen.

Please make a ".ds.gba" file for the guys who use wifime and a gba flash cart.... :-s

Thx.

Jl

EDIT : Thanks for the file and the rapidity °|_°

k, see the first post again.

-Stephen

Nice, will you pin this thread?

By the way, I'm currious about the packet feature.. is it some sort of packetsniffer?

Yes, the packet capture option is a packet sniffer - I'm thinking about letting it write to a file on gbamp/etc too, but getting it working is the first priority

-Stephen

I think the main improvement next should be the signal strength....it should go to 0% when out of range because it confuses me when it stays and a certain percent

well, fact is it doesn't.. it does change eventually.. and Ive seen a few 0% accesspoints on mine before too.. its all about moving away from the AP, and give it a few seconds to update the speed.. yeah

Actually this won't take much effort to add, I'll put it in the next version.

-Stephen

Shweet.......

HEy nice stuff.. didn't notice much difrence with the new version tho.. anyway i bet it's me.. i had a kewl feature tho.. HOT Spot Finder.. what it does is well easy... looks for open wifi spots that got WEPoff and tryes to connect with DHCP.. if it works. it makes a sound... this mode should be started when ou close the DS.. so no need to watch it.. as it's automatic.. also.. maybe some sort of not stoping the *Beep* untill u open and press the start key or something.. then u can have it on you while walking some where and just as u walk by that place to the pizza places.. it beeps and u can save it over one of the 3 WFC settings stored ;P no need messing with em again.. anyway.. hope you get my little idea.. think i'd be a kewl feature.. maybe it could work in the future if ur busy.. just my 2 cent..

Yeah, I get your idea, but this really isn't the purpose.. I'm sure someone else will write such an app once I've released the next lib though.

-Stephen

Keep in mind that the Wifilib test, as the name says, just
is something like a demo to test (and show) the features
of Wifilib.
As soon as the new Wifilib is out someone will work on something like
this for sure.

that'd be an awesome app to say the least

AWESOME! Great work sgstair. I hope, that you have the time to finish the new lib this weekend, because next week I am at the University again and there are so many access points

Just one question: Is it normal that the current test library don't get an IP address associated?

The current test library doesn't support DHCP to get an IP automaticly - this is coming soon though!

In the meantime - Outgoing TCP support has been added! see the first post for more information.

-Stephen

No, i mean also with a static IP. My router tells me, that the DS is connected but has no IP.

(P.s.: Seems, that you are getting faster with every release )

if you don't connect via DHCP, the router may not know the DS's IP - this is ok though, it's not necessary.

-Stephen

Good to know
Thank you.

By the way: is it possible to implement the backspace-button in the TCP-test, because without it it is nearly impossible to write a mail or even a correct http-request

THat is so kewl.. i just got the Source from http://www.google.com:80

there is so gona be a webbrowser out in no time with this now your work is so kewl.. keep up the good work Stephen

OMG!!! This is the best thing that came out on the nds so far!! I cant wait for a web browser (in like, a week??).

I tried connecting to google (and it seems I did), however I cant type "HTTP request"...

What am I supposed to do after giving the URL? I pressed CR several times, and when clicking on the Status, I see a whole bunch of Fs (more than I've ever gotten in all exams), then 2 lines with info

Here's what I did

I clicked on Tap to connect, automatically it typed google.com:80, so I pressed Ok, afterwards I have a black screen on top and TCP Conect test at the bottom

If I press CR, nothing happens.

I cant change text where it says google.com, if I press status, I see the Fs and a load of Hex numbers.

Do I remove local echo? Do I enable?

Help, I'm lost


Edit: Nevermind, I got it!

It really NEEDS backspace though

Heheee, I can type it perfectly with no trouble - maybe my calibration is more accurate or something.

However, I will be adding a "string" input to allow easier sending of a single line like that, probably in the next version.

-Stephen

Well great work, Stephen. There are still a few problems with it displaying the text. I have been messing with it for a while now and only got it to display Google's html one time. But it's nice to see this progressing. I can think of all sorts of interesting uses for this.

About the keyboard problem, it's weird because I have not seen any homebrew application that can work with the touchscreen as accurately as the official DS games can. I mean, if I just start tapping the letter "g" on the touchscreen, I get something like this:

"ggghgggghhgggnggggg"

It's a real pain while you're typing. Nintendo's keyboard doesn't have that problem.

I really like the keyboard used in DS2Win, the PA_Lib keyboard, it even lights up before releasing the key, so you know which key you are pressing.

However, one of the features I really LOVE about your apps Stephen, is the fact that if I type 3, I can press up or down to make it 2 or 4. If I type B, i can select other letters, which is a real plus.

the ac:ww keyboard is great because the qwerty goes screen to screen, as long as those are in their spots the other buttons can be wherever

The wifi lib test has been updated again! lots of new stuff! See the first post in the thread for current details
