Recommended way to configure parameters and run a script?

idleChris

Hi Onioneers,

I'm using the Omega2+ for a GoPro Pan/Tilt setup to be used for long timelapse photography while out hiking (i.e. no internet connection).

I'd like to be able to configure a few settings (pan/tilt speeds, start/stop, direction, etc.), then kick off the run using my cell phone connected to the Omega's WiFi.

Any recommendations for this?

A few initial thoughts on my end:

Use the Web Console to edit a settings file (bad)
Create a Webpage (probably PHP since this is what I'm most familiar with) (not great)
Ideally create a Onion Omega "App" on the main screen (maybe best, but unsure how difficult, haven't seen any tutorials yet.)

Thank in advance!
Chris

I've just starting digging through all the Community posts, just came across this, which might be helpful for my 3rd option:

@Chris-Zeh-0 The quick tutorial here is definitely outdated. There doesn't appear to be a template app. However, I did just copy/paste and rename the PWM app, which should get me going.
