It's more efficient passing one register-sized structure than 4
arguments or 4 pointers; working on intermediate values of 'int' size
is also more efficient in code size!
On raspberry pi pico w, this increased free flash space by +104 bytes.
It also increased the speed of my testing animation very slightly, from
187fps to 189fps when run 'unthrottled'
.. a fast helper for animations. It is similar to and inspired by the
PixelMap helper in Adafruit LED Animation library, but with an extremely
fast 'paste' method for setting a series of pixels. This is a common
operation for many animations, and can give a substantial speed improvement.
It's named `adafruit_pixelmap` so that we can package a compatible version
in pure Python for systems that can't fit it in C in flash, or for
Blinka.
This is a proof of concept and can make a very fast comet animation:
```python
import time
import adafruit_pixelbuf
import adafruti_pixelmap
import board
import neopixel
from supervisor import ticks_ms
from adafruit_led_animation.animation.solid import Solid
from adafruit_led_animation import color
pixel_pin = board.GP0
pixel_num = 96
pixels = neopixel.NeoPixel(pixel_pin, pixel_num, brightness=1, auto_write=False, pixel_order="RGB")
evens = adafruit_pixelmap.PixelMap(pixels, tuple(range(0, pixel_num, 2)))
odd_indices = tuple((i, i+2) for i in range(1, pixel_num, 4))
print(odd_indices)
odds = adafruit_pixelbuf.PixelMap(pixels, odd_indices)
assert len(odds) == len(odd_indices)
comet_length = 16
comet1 = [color.calculate_intensity(color.GREEN, ((1+i) / comet_length) ** 2.4)
for i in range(comet_length)]
comet2 = [color.calculate_intensity(color.PURPLE, ((1+i) / comet_length) ** 2.4)
for i in range(comet_length)]
pos1 = 0
pos2 = 96//4
while True:
evens.paste(comet1, pos1, wrap=True, reverse=False, others=0)
pos1 = (pos1 + 1) % len(evens)
odds.paste(comet2, pos2, wrap=True, reverse=True, others=0)
pos2 = (pos2 - 1) % len(odds)
pixels.show()
m = ticks_ms()
if m % 2000 > 1000:
time.sleep(.02)
```
This module has not been built in years, since the (removed) esp8266 port.
Delete the code, as it is not likely to be useful in its current form.
Closes: #7015
.. it needs to operate on a FILE* rather than FIL depending on
the build.
Note that this is comparing output to expected, not to cpython dotenv
package. Because run-tests.py starts the CPython interpreter with the
'-S' (skip site initialization) flag, pip-installed packages are
not available for import inside a test file. Instead, the exp
file is generated manually:
```
circuitpython/tests$ python3 circuitpython/dotenv_test.py > circuitpython/dotenv_test.py.exp
```
Unfortunately, the test fails on test e15:

Documentation states that get_last_received_report() function should
return None if there was no report received previously, otherwise it
should return report. Moreover, same report should be returned only
once. That makes it possible to reliably process incoming OUT/Feature
reports.
This patch adds an array that stores flags if report with particular
ID was received and updates get_last_received_report() to match its
documentation.
When the constructor value reading times out, an exception is thrown, but the digital pin is not de-initialised. Make sure to run the clean up, so user could catch the exception and retry using the same pin.
