Esp8266-Laser

Wifi Host for the Arduino-Laser-Spirograph

HTTP GET endpoints:
/motor/{motorNr}/{value}
/laser/{value}
/saveconf -> write wificonfig to file
/resetwifi -> reconnect wifi with the new settings
/wificonfig -> GET returns wifi settings
POST sets new wifi settings apMode=0: will try to connect to SSID first, 1: will directly start the AP SSID=ssid password=password save=true will save config to spiffs apply=true will reset wifi and try to connect with new param (buggy atm) /readvalues -> return laser and motor values (all 0 at startup, ram only)
