Research direction

Start by inspecting starty.py and the eye-tracker status handling mentioned in the issue, then trace how that status reaches the webapp. Reproduce the behavior with the Tobii eye-tracker disconnected and identify where the console error is produced. Done means the webapp shows a warning that the eye-tracker is not connected or detected and suggests checking its status.

Description

bug Medium Priority

1). No error message when eye-tracker is not connected/detected. I forgot to plug in the ethernet cable from Tobii. So when I ran the study the eye-tracker status shows something about model name and the script threw some error message on the eye-tracker side in the console that I can the starty.py. Would be good to have a warning on the webapp that suggests checking on eye-tracker status.
