Hi All,
This is a quick test of the new github release & some long awated functionality.
We want to call a Python function from the webgui using a single URL - this way we could save it as a bookmark or on our phones webrowser and activate it whenever we want.

Step 1 - download the latest MRL from github .. this will need to be 1.0.18+ (check - https://github.com/MyRobotLab/myrobotlab/releases )

Step 2 - it's a bit different from all previous version of mrl - there is no zip .. no batch files, no shell scripts.. just a single jar .. so drop it in a directory (without spaces in the name) and type the following (on all systems Windows, Linux, Mac)

java -jar myrobotlab.jar

The gui should pop up.

No services are installed - Services are handled differently too on these new versions.  They are downloaded once and only once to a "local repo" - any other versions of mrl downloaded to the computer will use this "local repo" if it exists and not the remote.  This saves alot of time downloading - but there still is the cost of downloading it "once" per computer.

You can install the services individually - but I usually do it all at once

Walk away - have some of your favorite beverage...

Come back later and you'll need to restart (hopefully no errors occurred)

Next for this test we are going to load Python - make a silly function and call it from the web..

Execute the script - so the function is loaded into MRL - next start the webgui

execMethod will directly execute a python method - this web form really just puts together a URL - the URL is

http://127.0.0.1:7777/services/python/execMethod/helloFromWeb 

if you want to activate it from your phone - you'll need to get your phone on wifi and find the ip address of your computer running mrl - then its the same thing with a different ip

So from your phone it "may" be - http://192.168.0.4:7777/services/python/execMethod/helloFromWeb 

Save it as a book mark on your phone and now you have a remote button for control :)

WoooHooo ! connected to function which speak, or turn stuff off and on, have fun !
