Move the documentation to `doc/plugin/CycleTimeReport.md`, sources under `src/kaleidoscope/plugin/` (appropriately namespaced). This is in preparation of merging plugins into a single monorepo. Signed-off-by: Gergely Nagy <algernon@keyboard.io>pull/389/head

# Kaleidoscope-CycleTimeReport
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A development and debugging aid, this plugin will measure average mainloop times
|
||||||
|
(in microseconds) and print it to `Serial` periodically. While not the most
|
||||||
|
reliable way to measure the speed of processing, it gives a reasonable
|
||||||
|
indication nevertheless.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Using the plugin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The plugin comes with reasonable defaults (see below), and can be used out of
|
||||||
|
the box, without any further configuration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```c++
|
||||||
|
#include <Kaleidoscope.h>
|
||||||
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-CycleTimeReport.h>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS(CycleTimeReport);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
void setup (void) {
|
||||||
|
Serial.begin(9600);
|
||||||
|
Kaleidoscope.setup ();
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Plugin methods
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The plugin provides a single object, `CycleTimeReport`, with the following
|
||||||
|
property. All times are in milliseconds.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `.average_loop_time`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> A read-only by contract value, the average time of main loop lengths between
|
||||||
|
> two reports.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Overrideable methods
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### `cycleTimeReport()`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Reports the average loop time. By default, it does so over `Serial`, every
|
||||||
|
> time when the report period is up.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> It can be overridden, to change how the report looks, or to make the report
|
||||||
|
> toggleable, among other things.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> It takes no arguments, and returns nothing, but has access to
|
||||||
|
> `CycleTimeReport.average_loop_time` above.
