I’m currently running my maslow with webcontrol off an old laptop with Linux.

Can I somehow set up and use my cell phone to control the sled through my laptop?

I’ve seen this on the forums with RasPi, but can’t find anything with using an laptop.

Thanks

-Tim

If running webcontrol, just go to the IP address of the webcontrol computer in your web browser with :5000 at the end.

find what the IP address of your laptop is. On the laptop itself you can go to  
localhost, from other devices you have to go to the other IP address your laptop  
has.
