Service loops() called for only those Services with over-ridden loop() methods. TO DO: update event logic to follow new framework. Vector should point to all CHARACTERISTICS that are updated to setVal()
This check all timed write PID/TTL entries and clears all those that are expired. This completes the implementation of Timed Write functionality as required for PUT /prepare requests.
Added detailed notes section to further explain all processes related to Event Notifications. Foreshadowed next example, which will be a Service supporting current and target state characteristics.
converted checkedTimeResets() from two-pass logic that first computes the required size of SpanBuf to a single-pass that utilizes vector<SpanBuf> instead. Much cleaner and easier.
checkEvents() now allows for multiple characteristics to be updated by service->notify(). This change included the use of vector<SpanBuf> to dynamically create the the temporary storage needed. To do: re-work similar routines to use vector<SpanBuf> instead of needing to perform two passes each time to gauge size of SpanBuf array needed.
creating code to allow for multiple characteristics to be updated within event() call. To Do: define anogther sensor that supports multiple characteristics. also need to check that "new SpanEvent" works as expected from within a defined service.
putCharacteristics and checkNotifications now both call the same eventNotify routing. This is being done to prepare for services that will stream notifications back to client (like a temperature sensor, or pushbutton). TO DO: rename checkNotifications to check TimedResets, and rename SpanPut to something more generic.
Transtioned to all getter methods: getVal(), getNewVal(), updated(), using templates for all floats.
Finalized templates for getVal and getNewVal, including making <int> default so it does not have to be set for most getVal() and getNewVal() calls. Works for booleans as well. TO DO: Re-work and check ALL prior examples to ensure they use getVal, etc., and DON'T access value, newValue, isUpdated, directly.
Allow for any characteristic that is not read-only, which should leave out all string characteristics.
Upon reset, zero out all 8 bytes of UVal memory, instead of simply setting UVal.BOOL to false. This allows use of TimedReset for any characteristic with a numerical value.
Updated SpanRange to register itself automatically to the most recent Characteristic. This is more consistent with the overall framework and no longer requires user to access the range variable directly.
