Any reason this isn't in the arduino/platformio package ecosystem? #68

This library seems fantastic. Any reason it's not packaged up for easy use in those systems?

Using it as a zip is a little inconvenient and platformio is pushing people away from that.

I have not checked that its compatible with the Arduino Library manager.

I have been considering changing the library so it supports multiple SPI and Serial ports, but all the checking of examples across the 3 platforms is a significant amount of work, and not a priority task at the moment.

If the library works in platform IO then fine, but I wont be checking that it does.

It does (I'm using it), and it would be trivially easy to add it to the registry. Simply running pio pkg publish will do the job, I think!

I wonder how difficult it would be to get that into a github action so it happens automatically. Let me know if you'd consider a PR for that. Here is a base script that gets PIO up and running. https://gist.github.com/marcovannoord/4275a25639427e13d6e74f17636bbd5f It's possible to set this up so that it publishes on a push to master, or when you create a new tag.

I would think increasing the number of people benefitting from this excellent library would be one of your chief goals!

Currently no plans to check library within platformio
