Define a PIN alias for the Strip (~ A1 on Playground Express) or dedicated Strip Functions like for the 10 buildin Pixels on the CPX to allow simplified access without knowledge of the used Playground PIN.

@pelikhan i have the crickit:bit ready for testing, works great in arduino, time to test in makecode - how can we enable this pkg for 'bits?

I would like to READ servo angles from a remote control

Wouldn't it be nice to have built-in blocks for this too?

Describe the bug
Using "cricket run motor" block causes the editor to error out with Code 108.

To Reproduce

1. Open: https://makecode.com/_3rF5Yz6oh6Ka
2. Notice the panic

Expected behavior
Don't panic.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS 10.14.3 (18D109)
• Browser Chrome 72
• MacBook Pro 2018, i9, 32GB

Adding a call to setPixelOff() will prevent the code from running.

Here's a simple example:
https://makecode.microbit.org/_PwRes9AgwRX2

Looks like a trivial fix - remove "this." :
master...nbogie:bugfix_for_setPixelOff
(Sorry, i haven't learned to build and test packages for PXT, yet)

Frustratingly, although makecode - at least /beta - reports 3 errors in pixel.ts, it doesn't present what those errors are, as far as I can see.

Versions: crickit v0.0.31, makecode 1.2.16

Cap touch pins are intended to be read as buttons but currently the block returns an analog value, which must be combined with an extra logic >= block with a number threshold to detect a touch.

I think the touchRead block should use a default threshold (700 or so) and return true if >= threshold, or false if < threshold.
An extra block can be added if the threshold for any particular cap touch pin needs to be overridden.
