If ITEAD is not interested in maintaining this repo - not responding to issues posted - delete this repo #103

Hi, I wanted to post an issue, but I became unhappy when I saw that ITEAD, the owner of this repo, did not answer to issues posted since 2017. So I thought: it has no use to add another issue to the list of not handled open issues.

That is why I want to suggest to ITEAD: if ITEAD is not interested to maintain this repo; if ITEAD is not interested to reply to issues posted; In other words: if ITEAD does not want to adhere to the goals of GitHub (as far as I have experienced it): a) to share open software together and b) through worldwide co-operation, make the software better; software with less bugs, then I advise ITEAD: delete this repo (and eventually all other repo's you don't maintain) (See link at the end).

Because I am stupid that I spend more words to this I want to inform ITEAD that this repo, in this moment: is causing compiler errors because the chosen class name 'ESP8622' conflicts with a macro with the same name running in the Arduino IDE v1.8.13: (ESP8266), a macro to indicate that the board in question is an ESP8266 type of board. Likewise there are other macros for other types or families of boards.

I cloned your repo. After being confronted with the compiler errors described above, I made various changes to this repo:

In the case ITEAD changes its thoughts about how to go on with this repo, my modified clone is available for a PR.
