Allows the user to add a command function to the Command Line Interface. All User Commands are defined with a '@' prefix.
To Do: Document this new feature.
Greatly simplifies use interface. No need to specify or save channels. And no need to even save pin number since that can be found using LedPin->getPin() method whenever needed.
Both classes check that total number of combined instantiations does not exceed 16. ServoPin() has additional limit of only 8 instantiations.
DEPRECATED: PwmPin(). Keep for backwards compatibility only.
TO DO: Update Tutorial Examples to replace PwmPin with LedPin, and update Extras.h documentations with LedPin and ServoPin.
This is a replacement for PwmPin(). It keeps track of channel numbers internally, which greatly simplifies the user interface. Starts by using the 8 Low Speed Timer channels and then moves to the 8 High Speed Timer channels if more than 8 LedPins are instantiated. Throws a non-fatal error if more than 16 LedPins are instantiated, and ignores any attempts to set the duty cycle of those channels.
Removed need to include channel number in set() method. Why was this ever there? Need to update Examples and PwmPin docs. But keep stub method that includes channel for backwards compatibility.
Only throw a non-fatal warning instead of a fatal error if a Service is missing a required Characteristic. This allows for user flexibility in leaving out required Characteristics for Services that don't seem to need them (contrary to the HAP docs).
Also, changed PositionState Characteristic back to Required (instead of Optional) in WindowCovering Service (as specified by HAP). If PositionState is not included this will only throw an error instead of a warning as a result of the above change.
To Do: Update Example 13 to properly incorporate PositionState Characteristic.
Check is not applied to STRING Characteristics. Check is performed at end of each Accessory definition so will account for any changes to min/max as a result of calls to setRange(). If initial value is outside allowable range, a WARNING (not an ERROR) is thrown.
Also added new flag "staticRange" for all Characteristics that indicates whether the min/max range can be changed. An ERROR will be thrown if setRange is attempted for a Characteristic having staticRange=true.
Next TO DO: Complete entry of default min/max into all Characteristics (except BOOL and STRING) defined Span.h so that setRange() error checking works for all Characteristics.
