(edit: No error with Adafruit CircuitPython 7.3.0-beta.1 on 2022-04-07; Adafruit Macropad RP2040 with rp2040)

I try to replicate the above with Feather RP2040 and CircuitPython 7.2.5 but I encounter an issue.

code.py output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "code.py", line 4, in <module>
  File "/lib/adafruit_hid/mouse_abs.py", line 47, in __init__
  File "/lib/adafruit_hid/mouse_abs.py", line 151, in _send_no_move
ValueError: Buffer incorrect size. Should be 4 bytes.

I believe it is a mismatch on the report size of the normal mouse.py and the new mouse_abs.py.
42 define self.report = bytearray(6)
47 is self._send_no_move()
151 is self._mouse_device.send_report(self.report)

I don't really know where that check and message is coming from ValueError: Buffer incorrect size. Should be 4 bytes. and what may have change recently either in the firmware or in adafruit_hid.

Don't have a feather. But in boot.py in line 50 it is specified, that the buffer is 6 bytes. So without further knowledge i would say the feather didn't process boot.py correctly.

I think I know what the problem was, why a change of CircuitPython solved it.
I may not have reset or powered off the board, and so there is a mismatch between what is in the file and what is accepted at runtime in code.py. I had the same error but with 4 when moving back to relative mouse descriptor...
Regards.

I would like to confirm that this "Buffer incorrect size." is occuring when you change the boot.py without powercycling the board.
You need the board to re-negotiate with the host at USB level... unplugging and replugging is the best way to garantee that.

Also I have used your code for this demo: https://github.com/dglaude/CircuitPython_udraw_Absolute_Mouse

A fork of my library is now accepted in CircuitPython Community Bundle and can be found here: https://github.com/Neradoc/CircuitPython_Absolute_Mouse
There is a nice very simple example code there.

Nice! Thanks for mentioning my example :)
