[Bug] PoweredUp Light (item #88005) uncontrollable on Move Hub (item #88006)

[StuffAndyMakes]

Describe the bug Running "Making the light blink" example from the Light object documentation connected to Port.C on a Move Hub results in the motor on Port.A starting, stopping, starting, stopping, etc. ("blinking").

To reproduce Run the following example code (modified to use Port.C for the LED module):

from pybricks.pupdevices import Light
from pybricks.parameters import Port
from pybricks.tools import wait

# Initialize the light.
light = Light(Port.C)

# Blink the light forever.
while True:
    # Turn the light on at 100% brightness.
    light.on(100)
    wait(500)

    # Turn the light off.
    light.off()
    wait(500)

Expected behavior The expected behavior is for the LEDs on the 88005 PoweredUp Light to blink on and off.

Thanks for the report. Who knows how long it has been like that. I guess not many people are using the light on the move hub. :smile:

You can grab a firmware with the fix from https://github.com/pybricks/pybricks-micropython/suites/10297481669/artifacts/506150765 if you don't want to wait for the next release.
