Describe the bug
There seems to be no internal pull-up resistor for a button press leaving any button floating as shown in the simulator. I'm not sure if we would need to include an image of a pull-up resistor in the simulator just like the LED's current limiting resistor for those that happen to use a button/switch?

To Reproduce
When attaching a momentary push button on any I/O pin, the pin is floating.

1. Drag the logic > if then code block in to the forever.
2. Drag and set button D8 is pressed into the if's condition statement.
3. Drag and set pin > digital write pin LED to HIGH as the result.
4. Drag and set pin > digital write pin LED to LOW under the else's result.

This can be fixed with a physical pull-up resistor to the 3.3V pin or setting the pin as an internal pull-up code block (i.e. set pull pin ____ to up). That might be more work than necessary since it depends on the setup. It will probably just need an example for documentation instead of having it in the simulator?

Expected behavior
Pushing a button should turn on the built-in LED on pin 13. When the button is not pressed, the LED should remain off.

1. The breadboard blends in with the background. I think it's more clear when there's a distinction:
   
   vs.
   

2. The +/- "zoom" buttons in the bottom right only zoom the blocks. I would have expected them to at least zoom the simulator. The breadboard especially is helpful to zoom since there's a lot of detail there (whereas with the microbit simulator, the detail isn't as small.)

Describe the bug

As sson as I use a serial function such as serial.redirect(pins.TX, pins.RX, BaudRate.BaudRate115200) the arduino zero stops working.

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce

let pir = false
serial.redirect(pins.TX, pins.RX, BaudRate.BaudRate115200)
loops.forever(function () {
pause(1000)
pir = !pir //pins.D7.digitalRead()
if (pir) {
pins.RXLED.digitalWrite(true)
pins.LED.digitalWrite(true)
} else {
pins.RXLED.digitalWrite(false)
pins.LED.digitalWrite(false)
}
})

The LED's are not flashing

When I comment out the serial.redirect, it works

Thank you

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This feature request is supposed to initiate a discussion regarding adding support for Beaglebone boards in the pxt-maker target, I have been working on a separate Makecode target, starting from the pxt-maker sources to include support for the Beaglebone boards and was successful(live simulator) in implementing basic support for the Beaglebone Boards.

I would like to work on integrating my solution with the pxt-maker repository and bring in Beaglebone Boards support directly through the Makecode Maker target rather than creating a separate target for the same.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to have the Beaglebone Boards support delivered directly through Makecode Maker target rather than creating a separate target for the same. I am willing to work on the integration and would like to hear your valuable feedback on the same.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have tried to create a new PXT target starting from the pxt-maker sources for providing the Beaglebone Support and was successful in implementing basic support for the same. I believe that it would be better to have the Beaglebone support served through the Makecode Maker target and would like to work on integrating the existing solution with the pxt-maker codebase.

Additional context

I have uploaded some quick test videos for the pxt-beaglebone target which you can find here :

Describe the bug
Issue with the servo blocks. Attaching a servo on the analog pins does not seem to work when using it with the SparkFun RedBoard Turbo under the MakeCode Beta site.

I am not sure if I am doing it correctly?

To Reproduce
Servo does not seem to move when it is connected to the analog pins A0-A5.

1. Drag and set pins > servo write pin A1 to 0 in the forever loop.
2. Drag and set loops > pause 1000 ms.
3. Drag and set pins > servo write pin A1 to 180.
4. Drag and set loops > pause 1000 ms.

Expected behavior
The servo should move between two positions every second on a PWM pin. The example works when the servo is connected to the PWM pins between D3-D13 but it does not work on A0-A5. Looking at the pinout, it does not seem like the RedBoard Turbo has any PWM pins on A0-A5?

Describe the bug
Adding an external WS2812-based LEDs from the "Light" blocks seems to not fully work on other pins when using it with the SparkFun RedBoard Turbo under MakeCode Beta site. There seems to be issues controlling LEDs after 3 or 4 pixels. There also seems to be issues setting up all the LEDs to the same color. The on-board WS2812B stays lit with the color green even when not calling it.

Maybe I am setting it up incorrectly?

To Reproduce

1. Connect external WS2812s to A1, 3.3V, and GND.
2. Drag the Light > More > set strip to create WS2812 strip on LED with 30 pixels code block into the setup.
3. Change LED to A1.
4. Change 30 pixels to 5 pixels.
5. Drag Light > More > set strip brightness 20 into the setup.
6. Change brightness 20 to 150.
7. Drag the Light > More > set strip show animation for 500ms code block into forever.
8. Adjust 500 ms to 200` ms.
9. Drag the Light > More > set strip all pixels to blue code block into forever.
10. Add a few pauses between the animation and setting all LEDs to the same color.

Expected behavior
The 5x external WS2812 LEDs should animate and then all change to the color blue.
