Hello phyphox team,
I am in contact with physics teachers that would like to personalize the phyphox experiments. That is something I did myself and that is very satisfying, but the process of uploading the experiment on one's phone is a bit cumbersome: basically one need a way to upload the phyphox file somewhere on the internet. For my first tests, I looked for a quick and dirty solution (for a quick results) but didn't find any :
- I tried to load my files in the phyphox online editor, since it generates a QRcode, but that did not work well: my programs were vanilla xml and I used some functionalities that are not supported yet by the online editor. It took my a while to realize that the errors I got were not due to my code...
- I tried some file transfer web service, but couldn't make it work.
In the end, I took the time to set up a proper web space for my needs, but I do not know what to suggest to a new phyphox user for an easy setup.
And then I realized that the forum has a beautiful feature: when a phyphox file is attached to a post such as this one, a QRcode is generated and the code is not altered (which is different from the online editor behavior). Would it be possible to make this feature easily available? At the moment, I am reluctant to tell physics teachers to go and try to modify the phyphox experiments because I know they may face some difficulties to upload it on their phone if they do not have an easy access to a webspace. It would be great if the forum QRcode generator would be easily accessible.
Thank you for your help in all our endeavors,
Cheers,
Fred
