An example of how to use Servo 2040's current measuring
ability and display the value on the onboard LED bar.
Press "Boot" to exit the program.
NOTE: ServoCluster and Plasma WS2812 use the RP2040's PIO system,
and as such may have problems when running code multiple times.
If you encounter issues, try resetting your board.
