If you order an assembled version of this PCB i will include all of the code, libraries and setup i used to program the MCUs.  I also include a video of the initial testing and a short demo of the PCB in operation.  This is an example of a video i produced for a MaxESP3 with OnStep 4.24 loaded on it.
