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.
