Add function MySensorsClearEEprom()

[mickecarlsson]

One thing that I have found quite frustrating is that when I develop some new feature or add a sensor to my MySensors-network I always forget to clear the eeprom and then I need to reprogram the arduino with /mysensors/MySensors/examples/ClearEepromConfig/ClearEepromConfig.ino
Then I have to reprogram the code again and do my testing.
Could you add a new function to the core code that has a function like:

MySensorsClearEEprom()
{
#ifdef MYDEBUG
  Serial.println("Started clearing. Please wait...");
#endif
  for (uint16_t i=0; i<EEPROM_LOCAL_CONFIG_ADDRESS; i++) {
        hwWriteConfig(i,0xFF);
  }
#ifdef MYDEBUG
  Serial.println("Clearing done.");
#endif
}
 

I then can i my code while testing add this function in setup()

#define PORT_CLEAR_EEPROM   6
  pinMode(PORT_CLEAR_EEPROM,INPUT);
  digitalWrite(PORT_CLEAR_EEPROM,HIGH);
  if(digitalRead(PORT_CLEAR_EEPROM) == LOW) {
     MySensorsClearEEprom()
  }

If I set (in this case) port 6 to ground, the eeprom is cleared.

@mickecarlsson Why not just add that to your sketches? Or for that matter, create a library for it that you can just include in your sketches.
