Save yourself some time. Write it in Python using WSGI and the built-in HTTP server in the standard Python lib. It'll get done fast and will work fine on almost any hardware/OS combo.

There's libmicrohttpd, but if GNU stuff isn't your thing, the page has links to other embeddable web servers.

I think libmicrohttpd is what I want. Easier than working out Python bindings for the USB stack I'm needing.

I was assuming there was existing command-line utilities for the controller you could simply invoke with sub-process. Is that not the case?

I'll have to write them. It'd be easy enough to do, but ... every time I start to write something in Python I wonder why I didn't write it in C++, so I figure I should just start there.

It's a cliche to say that we went to the moon with less computing power than we now have in a phone, but apparently the Apollo program has now been eclipsed by lawn sprinklers as well.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
