Add VSCode / PlatformIO project & build instructions as alternative to uploading pre-built binaries

[semuadmin]

Just a suggestion, but could you consider setting this up as a VS Code / Platform IO project?

The PlatformIO 'Arduino' plugin for VS Code is pretty solid these days and streamlines the ESP32 build and upload process across all supported platforms. Might be useful as an alternative to using pre-built binaries and separate upload tools.

Dear @nebkat: Any suggestions on building from source? I tried with an official ESP IDF docker container, (version 4.3 as mentioned in the logs of the running firmware v0.5.4) but the button component source is not found (not checked in source tree). Manually installing the dependency was not (yet) successful as the exact version is not defined, and the latest (and 1st) version seems incompatible with the code.

Used commands to build:
docker run -it --rm -v $PWD:/project -w /project espressif/idf:v4.3 idf.py build

Used component: https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/button

The correct source to use is the button project from @nebkat:
Get it here: https://github.com/nebkat/esp32-button

And I was able to build from source!
