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.
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.
