Better method for Plaquette PaltformIO examples?

[thomasfredericks]

Currently, Plaquette PlatformIO examples are stored in a separate repository: SofaPirate/Plaquette_PlatformIO_Examples: Plaquette Library PlatformIO Examples.

They are not included directly in the main Plaquette repository because the PlatformIO build process would recursively include the Plaquette library source folder. However, it’s worth evaluating whether this recursion is truly an issue as consolidation could simplify maintenance and improve discoverability for new users.

How is this done in other Arduino libraries?

I have not found an example.

It is possible to put a platformio.ini file directly in each example folder eg.

in:
examples/01.Basics/Blink

You add a platformio.ini file like this:

[platformio]
; Tell PIO to treat this folder (containing Blink.ino) as the source directory
src_dir = .

[env:uno]
platform = atmelavr
board = uno
framework = arduino
lib_extra_dirs = ../../..     ; adjust if needed (path to repository root)
lib_deps = Servo

Then you can run pio run and it will compile.

I have tested it.
