There should be examples for MCU users unfamiliar with Erlang/Elixir #20

Description

@UncleGrumpy

We have examples for using various sensors and applications that are well suited for users of the BEAM that are exploring the potential uses of AtomVM. I believe we should also have a set of examples targeted at MCU users who are interested in the features that AtomVM offers, but who are unfamiliar with Erlang and Elixir.

There are many people who want the convenience of something like MicroPython, with its rapid flash-debug cycle, but are unhappy with concurrency issues, and the single core limitation. We should help make it easier for these people to make the switch to AtomVM by including a collection of very basic Erlang and Elixir examples… much like those included with ArduinoIDE that demonstrate many of the most common concepts.

In my own personal experience AtomVM has been a fantastic platform to learn the BEAM. I knew nothing about it when I was introduced to the project, but the potential it brought to micro-controllers had me sold immediately. This is a large potential user (and eventually contributor) base that we should try to tap into.
