This fork migrates the whole project to platform.io so you can build it without wasting half a day. I didn't reorganize files, just migrated the project, added libraries, fixed build errors and voila.

The SHC adds dedicated hand controller functionality to an OnStep or OnStepX telescope controller. This firmware is designed to run on ESP32 (recommended) or Teensy3.2 or Teensy4.0 hardware. It can communicate with OnStep over the ST4 guiding port (which automatically reconfigures itself for synchronous serial communications when it detects an SHC) or over WiFi instead if running on an ESP32 (recommended.) The SHC hardware provides physical buttons that are easy to work by feel in the dark and an OLED display for convenient telescope control.

The SHC software was initially based on Charles Lemaire's TeenAstro fork.

You can review the SHC capabilities in its User Manual Wiki.

You can review recommended hardware and flashing instructions in the Smart Hand Controller Wiki.
