Task summary

Implement some code which spins the spinny thing™ bidirectionally given inputs from the left and right dpad. It is on the Adafruit PCA9685 16-Channel Servo Driver on the Pi hat

The final iteration of the spinny thing™ differs significantly from the original plan. Initially, it was meant to be integrated into the I2C mega node, but we encountered difficulties in getting ServoKit to provide any recognizable output to any of the pins. As a result, we relocated it to an RPi GPIO pin, made it its own node, and utilized PWM to drive it. It spins.
