Allow accessing AddressableLED.LEDData fields #77

Closed auscompgeek closed 7 months ago

auscompgeek commented 7 months ago

wpilib.AddressableLED.LEDData.setRGB is documented as:

A helper method to set all values of the LED.

But how do you set the individual values of the LED? In C++ you'd be able to set the r, g, and b members. However our bindings currently don't allow that, because we hide the fact that LEDData subclasses the hal.AddressableLEDData struct.

This makes those member variables visible via the base hal.AddressableLEDData.

From the build log:

build/temp.linux-x86_64-cpython-311/gensrc/wpilib_core/AddressableLED.cpp:62:60: error: ‘HAL_AddressableLEDData’ is not a member of ‘frc’; did you mean ‘AddressableLED’?
   62 |     py::class_<typename frc::AddressableLED::LEDData, frc::HAL_AddressableLEDData> cls_LEDData;
      |                                                            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      |                                                            AddressableLED

I don't understand why robotpy-build is prefixing the base type with the frc:: namespace.

It's doing it because there's no namespace specified for the base, and the child lives in a namespace, so the odds are that the base is going to be in the same namespace.
