    ESP32 and DCC
    I'm trying to figure out the ESP32 branch of DCC. I've spent the better part of the day on it and am still lost. I really need a "dummies" readme on this. I've spent a lot of time with the included docs and on the site already but still have no clue where to start code wise.
    Using a ESP32 Uno with Aurdrino Motor Sheild. First the photo shows that the brake connectors are green and the vin is red but what do these colors mean? Nothing in the docs.
    It looks like I need to enable stuff and settings in the code but there are .h files and .cpp files there is wifi and motorsheild stuff all over the place in several files.
    Sorry, but I'm almost ready to throw in the towel this is my second attempt at DCC++ and I'm no where near able to run trains yet.

    Just follow this and you will be up in no time at all...

    The steps in the links you will find there got me up and running and I didn't know anything before I started. It is the conservative approach. I figured once I had DCC++ running I could experiment later,
