NeoPixel and Ble Service Fixes

The update fixes some bugs in the NeoPixel controller and run time errors in the MetaWearBleService class.

Changes

• Fixed bugs with the initializeStrand and rotateStrand implementations
• Fixed bugs with the receivedStrandState and receivedRotatationState callback functions
• Correctly ordered the entries in the RotationDirection enum
• Tidied up the comments in the NeoPixel class
• Added checks to avoid run time errors caused by invalid data packets and non-registered callbacks

Accelerometer Updates

This update contains small modifications to the accelerometer code to make it compatible with version 0.4.1 of the firmware.

Changes

• Modified enableNotification and disableNotification to explicitly enable the status register for notifications
• Fixed github version of the code with the name change of MetaWearBleService

Version 1.0 of the Android API

[2014-07-22] Added link to updated Getting Started guide for API v1.0 and added a note for changing the MetaWear service name

The change list for the API update is given below. Beware that a lot of the API was completely overhauled to reflect new features added to the firmware and to better organize the classes. This version of the API will break compatibility with API v0.1.

Javadocs and the jar library are included in the download.
