TcMenu and IoAbstraction IDE/toolchain project

Summary

This project is a shell that can be used to work with and build our libraries for either platformIo or PicoSDK with CMake. You can choose to use this, or take inspiration from it and roll your own core project. To use with platformIO simply open in a suitable IDE in the top level directory, it has a platformio.ini. To use with CMake, simply open the cmakeProject directory with a suitable IDE.

Although this is mainly aimed at users and developers of tcMenu based applications, it also serves as a getting started point for you to develop source and build both libraries within an IDE using platformIO or PicoSDK Cmake.

To set up:

1. Clone this repo
2. Create a lib and mbed_lib directory under the cmakeProject directory (this makes it easy to host both options in one solution)
3. Clone IoAbstraction, LiquidCrystalIO, TaskManagerIO, tcMenu, SimpleCollections, TcMenuLog and tcUnicodeHelper into the lib directory
4. Clone AdafruitGFXNativePort into the mbed_lib directory
5. Set up either platformio.ini with the right parameters for your board, or configure Cmake and import the cmakeProject directory into an IDE.
