[Firmata] missing `void startSysex(void)` method about remote-wiring

[ooeygui]

Can you supply information as to why it is needed?

[turkycat]

Firmata.cpp calls it "startSysex" / "endSysex" while I named it "beginSysex" / "endSysex" in UwpFirmata. I agree that it should have matched the latter, but not sure if we should change it now?

[zfields]

We are trying to provide a familiar API surface, so we should at least have parity. I would take the logic from beginSysex(), move it startSysex(), then have beginSysex() call startSysex() and deprecate beginSysex().

[turkycat]

We should revisit this issue. New UwpFirmata implementation does not use startSysex() or endSysex(). New function signatures are:

[Windows::Foundation::Metadata::DefaultOverload]
void
sendSysex(
        SysexCommand command_,
        IBuffer ^buffer_
    );

and

void
    sendSysex(
        uint8_t command_,
        IBuffer ^buffer_
    );

which allow the entire IBuffer to be sent at once. No more need to invoke 3 functions for one concept. It does not perfectly match the Firmata API (as this issue was meant to resolve) but is arguably more sensible on our platform.

I'll close this issue. The original observation is no longer valid.
