This PR fixes a bug where a FAST LED fade can sometimes calculate a negative brightness. The issue is caused by the fade's
start_time
being after thecurrent_time
.I've done much investigation into the issue and cannot figure out the root cause, aside from a possible floating-point rounding error that causes the two calls to
self.machine.clock.get_time()
to yield slightly offset values. I found no systemic or regularly reproducible cause for the issue, so I cannot "fix" it at this time. Instead, just do a safety check to ensure the value is never negative.Also, did some linting cleanup while the file is changed.
