Summary
screenshot(filename)function to the SDL module that captures the current display and writes raw RGB565 data to a file(width, height, filename)tuple on successDetails
Uses
SDL_RenderReadPixelsto capture the renderer content, converts RGBA8888 to RGB565 in chunks, and writes directly to file viafopen/fwrite. This avoids large heap allocations that would be problematic in MicroPython.Test plan
SDL.screenshot("/tmp/test.raw")from MicroPython and verify the output file contains valid RGB565 data🤖 Generated with Claude Code
