Hey everyone! I'm trying to create a simple website that would allow to control an Arduino light system with HTTP requests. For starters, I want to control a few lights with Arduino. Arduino is programmed to read the HTTP requests and control lights accordingly. For example, '/light3/on'. I would normally use Flask, but I'm learning some racket and thought it would be interesting to get this done with Racket. What would you use?
