Oh Boy, I'm Lost
Hi all -
Have to admit I'm in over my head trying to sort this out. The instructions seem pretty clear, but our website won't allow uploads of javascript files so I was trying to do this a different way, perhaps having the files on Google Drive? I don't even know where to start to ask a question - but I guess a good place to start:
1.) I'm not clear on how the timing screen is displayed, (embedded HTML somewhere?) and how that is attached to the files we upload
2.) Is it possible to do this on Google Drive? They have "Google Sites" but uploading files just points to Drive folders, etc. HTML can be embedded
3.) I think I'm just really clueless with where the Timing Page is supposed to go, or where that HTML is, or javascript?
I hope my questions are at least a little bit coherent.

The web files you need should all be included in the WebtimingServer folder that is included with ATVO. You should be able to open it directly via the link in the Help tab on the Web Timing window.
There should be a index.html file which is the website, a bunch of javascript files, and a post.php file which handles receiving the data.
That said, I doubt a 'Google site' will work, although I am not familiar with them. The server should be able to run PHP and javascript files.

Google sites does not allow you to upload and run php and js scripts.
Best solution is to set up your own server (using a cloud provider) to run this feature, or at least find a web host that actually allows you to upload and run arbitary php/js files.
Thanks for this - I'm not very well informed (obvious by the horribly incoherent post) on the details of setting up my own server but I think I'm at a point where I need to learn. Such neat features, I just need the know-how to take advantage of them!
