Request simulator control of motors using slider on servo icon in Jacdac Arcade environment as works in Jacdac Makecode with Jacadaptor. see video link

Describe the solution you'd like The reason that this would be desirable is to use Jacdac for Assistive Technology development where a patient with Neuralink brain chip seeks training in using thoughts to control physical motors such as "P1" does when he moves chess pieces (icons) on a monitor based chess board. He states a strong interest in gaming and Arcade would incorporate game playing/making and physical motor control for educational purposes. It seems after chip is placed many hours are spent in patient training to use the Neuralink system. There should be several more patients in 2024 and the hardware shown below is very inexpensive.

Describe alternatives you've considered I have not tried simulator servo slider to control hardware in 'dashboard' .

Additional context 1.5 minute video demonstrating desirable control and desired control; https://youtu.be/qseSmf3SVsM
