So correct me if I’m wrong it sounds like what you need something that polls an HTTP url and grabs the response, saves the response, and then makes it available for a computer used elsewhere where you want to analyze data afterwards, right?

Well, yes I think that’s correct. I’m not that knowledgeable with web related tech, my expertise lies with graphics rendering, AI, and game related type technology. The output from the device is a series of JSON messages. Having them in a browser means that I can monitor what I’m getting, making sure that data collection is going ok. (Although it’s a bit cryptic) After a dozen or so shots, I’ll copy the data and save it, then clear the browser page and continue collecting data.

If so, I’m thinking you probably don’t need a laptop just to do this… Would a very simple app on a phone that polls the web url, grabs the HTTP response, and then at the the end of session, sends you an email and/or uploads to a cloud account (like google drive) work?
This shouldn’t be hard to do, on Android or iOS. If it was Android, I’d put something together for you in 10-15 minutes. For iOS, I need to fire up my old xCode IDE, which I’ve neglected for the last year… I don’t mind slapping an iOS project together. But, you’re going to have to sideload it yourself onto your phone, since no way I can get something like this onto the app store quickly.[/quote]
If you think this is feasible, then maybe pm me. I have xcode, and I currently upload our tech to my phone and iPad, and while I know very little about the logistics of an iOS app itself, I can probably manage to build and run an xcode project that someone provides. Not sure how much hand shaking would need to be done to make the connection. There is a login process that requires a username and password.
