Hello,
How to easily drop some experiments on a phone is something I struggled a bit with at the beginning. In the end, the easiest for me was to drop the file on a server, create a qrcode, and flash it on my phone. A bit cumbersome during development, but since I kept the same file name, I only had to generate the QRcode once... Once I am happy, I share the QRcode with my students.
I could not use the online experiment editor, since I always ended doing something that was not allowed by the editor, and I am anyway not a fan of all the comments that the editor adds to the code, so I use plain text editor. Using the online editor of course gives you quick access to a qrcode.
In the end, I created a small php/js webpage to automate my procedure. If you want to take a look, the public version is here, you can use it, but I can not provide any guaranty of storage: https://hebergement.universite-paris-sac...generator/
Jens asked a few weeks ago for some ideas for the new phyphox web site: I think a similar service (drop a file, get a QRcode), more robust (more secured, and with secured storage for a given duration), would be of help to anyone who would like to test writing or modifying a phyphox experiment. For a beginner, having to jump through all the hoops to get the experiment on his/her phone is a bit daunting. This very forum provides a similar service, it would be "just" a matter of giving access to this tool outside the forum.
Cheers,
Fred
