A basic way to loop multiple servos. Modified from Adafruit PWM Driver Library. (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-16-channel-pwm-slash-servo-shield/using-the-adafruit-library)
/***************************************************
This is an example for our Adafruit 16-channel PWM & Servo driver
Servo test - this will drive 16 servos, one after the other
Pick one up today in the adafruit shop!
------> http://www.adafruit.com/products/815
These displays use I2C to communicate, 2 pins are required to
interface. For Arduino UNOs, thats SCL -> Analog 5, SDA -> Analog 4
