pxt-oc05's Issues

Can we clone the MakeCode servo library and update?

Our OC05 library needs some work for the microbit users.

MakeCode has a servo library - its one of the first options you see when you open extensions.
It is laid out nicely and is easy enough to understand.
It has all the functionality we need, just without being able to choose from 8 servos.
Can we clone theirs - gut it if needs be, but keep the front end? Or copy their functions / groupings?

Thoughts?
