/*
    Uses the ESP8266 WiFi Chip to set up a WiFi Webserver used to control 
    the position of a motor using a PID controller. USE FIREFOX Web 
    Browser

    NOTES: 
    1. Webpage Handling in this program is specific to a CUSTOM 
    WEBPAGE. Program must be modified to handle specfically a new 
    webpage. A copy of the webpage for this program can be found at 
    the end of this program page. Simply copy and past text into a
    html file and save as the given name.
    
    2. Developed and tested with FireFox 42.0 Web Browser. Does not seem to work
    well with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer for some reason... they seem 
    to generate two post requests which messes with the user input values. 
    
    3. There are a bunch of printf statements in the code that can be
    uncommented for debugging in a serial terminal progrom. 

    
    TODO: ESP8366 has a max packet send size. Make sure we implement
    a method to send webpages that exceed this value. The max size is
    listed in the official ESP8266 AT Commands Documentation, I think
    it is 2048 bytes/chars
    
    TODO: CREATE CONFIG FUNCTION TO SET SSID, PASSWORD, BAUDRATE ETC.
    Perhaps have a serial terminal method to take user input, and 
    put the function call into a #ifdef WiFiConfig statement, so 
    that the user can enable it to config Wifi module then turn 
    it off once Wifi module is configed so that this program can 
    run in a "stand alone" mode. 

    TODO: Move debugging printf statements inside of #ifdef DEBUG
    statements, so that serial terminal print statements can be 
    turned on and off easily for debugging.
    
    TODO: Implement stop button in webpage
