Using mobile phone gps to notify location for panic button

[kencottrell]

Hi Ken,

as far as I know, our editors do not yet support “network connections”. It (likely) should be included when we are finished with a bit of refactoring of the new editor code.

Are you aware of the REST interface that comes with the remote access feature? I know that it does not entirely suit your plans, however, it might work for some testing purposes.

Thank you for your response, Jens. 

If I can't use the web editor to generate the config the uploaded <network> block, what  is the alternative approach? 

I have tried to to use this command to upload a /phyphox command from a local web server, but how can I do this if the GPS experiment is already running? 

I assume I have to insert the config file before I start the GPS experiment, otherwise how can it listen on port 80?

    phone_url = myphone-ip-address/control?cmd=load&url=mylaptop-ip-address:8000/myfile.phyphox"
    try:
        response = requests.get(phone_url)
        print(response.status_code, response.text)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Failed to load config file: {e}")
