So...a few weeks on and not much has happened. Some more parts have dribbled in but it's a lesson in patience.

The ESP32 boards arrived though the wrong ones were posted! The board I received has the same pinout as the 'correct' version of the board though, but is about 2mm too wide and the wireless antenna sticks out a bit more than it should. Rather than send these back and wait a few months I'm going to crack on and see if this one works.

After 10 minutes of bending pins, the ESP32 board fits ok (see pics). I bent the side closer to the screen header pins - in retrospect, the side closest to the resistors is better as the female header pins for the screen interfere a bit. I only have the RJ connector and buttons to go before the SHC is 'complete' but I don't know if I can do much testing without them.

I flashed the ESP32 and it works!! Or at least, the screen comes on and it tries to connect to the Onstep main board. Guess I'll need to finish that off before testing the SHC further.
