PSoC 6 Introduction

Since I did the webinar several things have happened

1. Lesson 4: I fixed an error in the stack size for FreeRTOS
2. Lesson 5: The PSoC Creator BLE PDL has been upgraded to greatly simplify the notifyCapSense function

All of the projects are available at git@github.com:iotexpert/psoc-6-introduction.git or www.github.com/iotexpert/psoc-6-introduction
