TStat10/T3 on ESP32 Build Instructions

After more attempts to get the latest IDE working, we found this post that links to a version of the IDE+IDF that is mentioned in the instructions.

I have updated the instructions to include this download link and more instructions for others who might try to compile the software and can send a pull request if you are fine with the suggested changes.

lonerzzz/T3-programmable-controller-on-ESP32/blob/master/Documents/How to compile.txt

Please download ESP idf integrated development environment of Espressif Company to compile the code, the version is 4.4.4
1.	Install the ESP-IDF tool installer
Download the IDE and IDF from the link 
https://dl.espressif.cn/dl/idf-installer/espressif-ide-setup-2.8.1-with-esp-idf-4.4.4.exe 
2.	Run the downloaded executable file to get the IDE and IDF installed on your system
During the installation, you can change the default ESP IDF installation path, which will be used later.
3.	Once installed, you will get an ESP-IDF Eclipse, which is the compiler we use to compile ESP32 code.
4.  Download the code zip file or do a pull from Github for the files and extract those files to a directory
5.  Delete the driver, temco_bacnet and temco_IO_control directories from the build/ide/esp_idf_components directory within the imported project 
6.	Copy the three folders - driver, temco_bacnet and temco_IO_control to the build/ide/esp_idf_components. This is the change we made to the IDF.
7.	Open the ESP-IDF Eclipse program, File ->Import, Espressif ->Existing IDF Project, select the project directory downloaded from github, and click Finish to load the project into the compiler. Right click the project name and select Build Project to compile.
8.	You can get more help from

After getting compilation to take place, the issue is that the following error (among others) is being generated:

In file included from F:/Programs/eclipse/T3-programmable-controller-on-ESP32-master/main/controls.h:28,
                 from F:/Programs/eclipse/T3-programmable-controller-on-ESP32-master/main/i2c_task.c:12:
F:/Programs/eclipse/T3-programmable-controller-on-ESP32-master/main/ud_str.h:6:10: fatal error: types.h: No such file or directory
 #include "types.h"

There is a temco_bacnet/include/types.h that could be used, but the concerns are:

the master branch in github is not compiling without modifications
the types.h include is used in multiple files
the bacnet.h include is used in multiple files
there are more than 300 lines of linkage errors when all the include references are resolved
