/pick/X : Pick specific chocolate slot. X is expected to be a nr from 1 to 11.
/test/X : Pick up at put back slot nr X
/test/all : Test all slots
START SERVER
To start the server just execute "python main.py". There is a bat script for this (launch.bat) but you probably need to edit the paths in that script first
EXTERNAL ACCESS
To expose the web server to the internet use the "serveo.bat" script. This will open up a tunnel from https://chocobot.serveo.net to your local web server.
OR
use "ngrok.exe http 8000" to open the tunnel.
