Update picostdlib examples

casey-SK commented 2 years ago

Purpose:

My intent here is to create a better structure for the examples included in the picostdlib. I have arranged the examples as follows:

Each example should be numbered, low numbers representing easier / common concepts and higher numbers representing difficult / less common concepts
Each example should cover some basic functionality and try to limit itself to that functionality and concepts that have been covered already in the lower numbered examples.
The examples should run on the original Pico, and require little in terms of external components.
The examples should include a title, description, and be well commented.

Note that so far, I have only completed 6 examples in the manor described, hope to finish the rest soon. I have tested them all to ensure that they run correctly.

I deleted the redundant examples that covered the same concepts, and left the examples the I have not yet look at. I also changed the import statements for the remaining hello_ programs.

I am curious to know how many examples you guys think we should have? did you have a limit in mind?

As many as you want, ideally these work as tests that the API atleast compiles and works, but the down side is hard to test.

haha, I haven't closed (#3) yet. I would like to at the very least test that they build without error. I watched a video about debugging, and it takes a lot of steps haha

Yea properly testing this stuff works is very much in the category of having a bunch of breakout boards that could be dropped on to test X module/feature.

For one the example PR should be separate to the piconim link changes. Though secondly i dont know how i feel with the solution for link libraries. Iterating every C file searching for a string seems ugh. Need to think about it more.

dang, sorry for being an amateur with git. I am going to close this PR and try again.

All you need to do is git rebase -i HEAD~2 and drop the last commit(after making another branch), then push over this, then in the other branch drop everything but the latest commit doing git rebase -i #commitBeforeWorkAdded then dropping all between then and now.

Oh okay, once I try that, I will reopen this. Sorry for testing your patience like this haha
