Since this library defines the
Breakout
object in its header file, it's a death sentence for users wanting to use the header file from two different .cpp files, as such is common in IDEs like PlatformIO + VSCode, since that causesmultiple definition of
errors.Users are running into this error for example here.
This PR fixes this error by only declaring the breakout object to be
extern
and then adding a.cpp
file in which the object is then created once.
