It will be amazing to see an update version of this, since the photos doens’t show anymore.

Me too very much appreciate if anyone can update this.

This is one of my favorite go-to threads. I wonder why the pictures disappear.
Hi @rickkas7, any chance this thread can be turned into a tutorial in the docs?

Some of the content is part of this application note

Thanks to this excellent tutorial, I am using Web Pages to interact with several of my Photons. I am very gratefull to you all for making this possible!

Now a new issue comes up: on one of these pages I am using a function that creates a beep sound as soon as a certain variable turns from ā€˜0’ into ā€˜1’.
This works fine on Chrome for my Windows PC, but it does however not on my iPhone…
As anyone aware of any relevant differences between Chrome for Windows and for iOS???
If so: what would be a solution for this?

Not my area, but I believe 3rd party browsers like Chrome on iOS are forced to use Apple’s WebKit browser engine for platform efficiency (and business advantage).

Browsers have varied restrictions on whether you can play a sound when running in the background, or if not in response to a user action, like clicking on a button. If you remember the days when some browser tab would start making sound and you couldn’t figure out which one, it makes sense, though not for your specific use-case.
