Walkthrough

The changes add Windows terminal ANSI color support, enhance result file naming to reflect custom initial voltage and frequency, and refine the benchmarking loop to allow a single retry with increased voltage upon overheating. Informative print statements clarify the benchmarking process, and output filenames now consistently include the parameter-based suffix.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
bitaxe_hashrate_benchmark.py Added Windows ANSI color support; introduced timestamp and parameter-based suffix for filenames; unified filename generation; refined benchmarking loop to allow one retry on overheating with voltage increase; added detailed print statements; appended suffix to all result filenames; added trailing newline.

Poem

In the warren of wires, a benchmark hops,
Now colors on Windows—no terminal flops!
With voltage and frequency in each file’s name,
Overheat? One retry, then end the game.
Clearer messages guide each testy leap,
As results are burrowed, tidy and neat! 🐇✨

8-17: LGTM: Windows ANSI color support implementation is correct.

The fallback mechanism for Windows terminal color support is well-implemented, with proper exception handling for missing colorama and a system-level fallback for Windows environments.


88-94: LGTM: File suffix implementation correctly addresses spacing issue.

The implementation now uses underscores instead of spaces, which addresses the previous concern about awkward filenames with spaces. This will produce clean filenames like bitaxe_benchmark_results_192.168.0.10_v1200_f650.json.


95-100: LGTM: Centralized filename generation improves maintainability.

The result_filename() function eliminates code duplication and ensures consistent filename formatting across the application.


374-374: LGTM: Proper initialization of retry counter.

The retry_upon_overheat variable is correctly initialized to support the new retry logic.


381-381: LGTM: Correct reset of retry counter on successful iteration.

Resetting the retry counter to 0 on successful benchmark iteration ensures the retry logic works correctly for subsequent overheating events.


400-400: LGTM: Enhanced user feedback improves debugging experience.

The additional print statements provide clear feedback about the benchmarking process, making it easier to understand what decisions the algorithm is making.

Also applies to: 402-402, 409-409, 411-411


334-335: LGTM: Consistent use of centralized filename function.

Both locations now use the result_filename() function, ensuring consistent filename generation throughout the application.

Also applies to: 495-496


546-546: LGTM: Proper file termination.

Adding a trailing newline follows Python coding conventions and ensures proper file formatting.

477-478: Filename duplication block – reuse shared helper

See earlier comment on _result_filename(). The build logic is now duplicated twice; refactor to single source of truth to prevent silent divergence.

🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
bitaxe_hashrate_benchmark.py (3)

8-10: Prefer colorama over os.system("") for Windows ANSI support

os.system("") is an undocumented trick; it silently spawns cmd.exe with an empty command, which side-effects the console state on some Windows builds but is a no-op everywhere else.
colorama.init() is the de-facto cross-platform solution and makes the intent explicit.

-import os
-os.system("")  # enables ansi escape characters in terminal - colors were not working in Windows terminal
+import os
+try:
+    import colorama
+    colorama.init()
+except ImportError:
+    # Fallback for environments where colorama isn't available
+    if os.name == "nt":
+        os.system("")  # rudimentary ANSI enable on Windows

318-323: Duplicate filename logic – keep save_results() DRY

save_results() replicates the same filename construction that is later duplicated in the final summary section (≈ line 475). Extract the logic into a small helper to avoid divergence if the pattern ever changes.

def _result_filename():
    ip_address = bitaxe_ip.replace('http://', '')
    return f"bitaxe_benchmark_results_{ip_address}{file_suffix}.json"

Use it in both places.


400-416: 8-clause boolean is hard to read – extract intent into named predicates

Pylint rightfully flags the if spanning lines 402-412. Readability and maintainability suffer; a one-line change in the retry policy becomes a scavenger hunt.

-            if avg_hashrate is None and avg_temp is None and efficiency_jth is None and hashrate_ok is False and avg_vr_temp is None and error_reason == 'CHIP_TEMP_EXCEEDED' and initial_frequency <= current_frequency + frequency_increment and retry_upon_overheat < 1:
+            overheat_retry_allowed = (
+                error_reason == "CHIP_TEMP_EXCEEDED"
+                and retry_upon_overheat < 1
+                and initial_frequency <= current_frequency + frequency_increment
+            )
+
+            if overheat_retry_allowed:

Besides clarity, this makes the section self-documenting and satisfies R0916.

8-16: ANSI color support implementation looks good.

The Windows terminal color support implementation with colorama fallback is well-structured and handles the ImportError gracefully.


96-100: Good refactoring of filename generation into reusable function.

The result_filename() function centralizes filename generation logic, improving maintainability and consistency across the codebase.


375-375: Initialize retry counter for overheating logic.

The addition of retry_upon_overheat variable is appropriate for implementing the single-retry mechanism described in the PR objectives.


401-413: User feedback messages enhance usability.

The addition of informative print statements provides valuable feedback to users about the benchmarking process state and decisions being made.


335-336: Consistent use of centralized filename function.

Both locations now use the result_filename() function, ensuring consistent filename generation throughout the script.

Also applies to: 496-497


424-432: Overheating retry implementation needs voltage limit validation.

The retry logic increases voltage but doesn't validate against max_allowed_voltage before setting the new frequency. This could lead to inconsistent state if voltage validation fails later.

Move the voltage validation to the beginning of the retry block:

             if overheat_retry_allowed:
-                # If overheat, return to initial frequency while increasing voltage (considering max_allowed_voltage)
                 retry_upon_overheat += 1
-                if current_voltage + voltage_increment <= max_allowed_voltage:
-                    current_frequency = initial_frequency
-                    current_voltage += voltage_increment
-                    print(GREEN + "Reached thermal limit for the current voltage/frequency. Switching to next voltage increment." + RESET)
-                else:
-                    print(GREEN + "Reached thermal limit for the current voltage/frequency. Next voltage increment out of voltage limit. Stopping further testing." + RESET)
-                    break  # We've reached max voltage, can't increase voltage anymore
+                # If overheat, return to initial frequency while increasing voltage
+                current_frequency = initial_frequency
+                current_voltage += voltage_increment
+                print(GREEN + "Reached thermal limit for the current voltage/frequency. Switching to next voltage increment." + RESET)

The voltage limit check is already handled in the overheat_retry_allowed condition above.
