This PR updates all the main Sming samples to try and demonstrate best practice when coding Sming applications. Specifically:

  • Initialise timers using templated methods where possible as this provides static range check on values
  • Using SimpleTimer is sufficient in most cases. This is both more efficient and avoids complication where compiler cannot distinguish between delegates and callback functions.
  • Use timer startOnce() method rather than start(false)
  • Use C++ iterators in preference to C-style loops for(int i=0; i<list.count(); ++i) {...}
  • Ensure consistent use of WIFI_SSID and WIFI_PASSWORD
  • Use Serial methods in preference to debug_x where intent is not actually for debugging
  • Use anonymous namespaces and remove redundant static declarations
  • Avoid nested if statements
  • Place init() function at end of main application source file
  • Reduce variable scope (declare at point of first use)
  • static/global variables do not require explicit initialisation to 0

Sample-specific changes:

  • Revise HttpServer_AJAX so that GPIO numbers are consistent with web code
  • Update Basic_Ssl keys, requires Bearssl
  • Update Basic_DateTime sample
    • Simplify code using LineBuffer
    • Accept either numeric timestamp or HTTP date string. Note: ISO8601 string conversion not currently supported by DateTime.
    • Don't emulate console via telnet, use default CLI
  • Rewrite Basic_Neopixel sample
    • Enumerate color values
    • Reduce global variables and duplicated code
    • Verify logic flow using Host
  • Rewrite Display_TM1637 as state machine (coroutine)
  • Fix Basic_Storage, didn't actually use RAM as indicated
  • Add Host Print stream support, update Basic_Utility sample

Other changes

  • Update jerryscript library to latest. CI improvements and removes deprecation warnings.
  • Fix bad memory casts in si4432 library. Also builds for other architectures than esp8266, so remove SOC restrictions.
  • Fix unused variable warning in CommandProcessing library
