udp eisc

[andrew-welker]

This pull request refactors and improves the BridgeBase.cs file in several ways, focusing on modernizing logging practices, enhancing documentation, and expanding device support. The most significant changes are the replacement of the old logging system with extension-based logging methods, improved XML documentation for better code clarity, and support for new device types in the EISC API factory.

Logging modernization and error handling:

• Replaced all usages of the legacy Debug.LogMessage with new extension-based logging methods such as this.LogDebug, this.LogInformation, this.LogWarning, this.LogVerbose, and this.LogError throughout the file, improving consistency and maintainability of logging. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
• Enhanced error handling in exception blocks by logging both error messages and stack traces for easier debugging. [1] [2]

Documentation and code clarity:

• Added or improved XML documentation comments for constructors, methods, and parameters across the file, making the codebase easier to understand and maintain. [1] [2] [3]
• Marked the BridgeApi base class as [Obsolete("Will be removed in v3.0.0")] to indicate its planned deprecation.
• Updated summary comments for classes and methods to better describe their purpose and usage. [1] [2] [3]

Device and factory enhancements:

• Expanded the EiscApiAdvancedFactory to support additional device types, specifically UDP variants (eiscapiadvudp, eiscapiadvancedudp), and updated the type list and instantiation logic accordingly.
• Improved the summary and remarks for the factory class to document all supported device types.

Other improvements:

• Refactored some method implementations for clarity and conciseness, such as simplifying type checks and removing redundant code.
• Removed commented or obsolete code to clean up the file. [1] [2] [3]

These changes collectively improve code readability, maintainability, and extend the capabilities of the EISC API infrastructure.

• fix: support for legacy UDP EISC
• chore: update comments, debug methods, and mark some things obsolete

Pull request overview

This PR adds support for legacy UDP EISC communication, updates logging methods to use modern extension-based patterns with structured logging, adds documentation comments, and marks the BridgeApi base class as obsolete for future removal.

Key Changes:

• Added UDP EISC support with new device types "eiscapiadvudp" and "eiscapiadvancedudp"
• Migrated from Debug.LogMessage static calls to extension method logging (this.LogDebug, this.LogWarning, etc.) with structured logging placeholders
• Enhanced XML documentation for classes, methods, and parameters throughout the file
