Pinout Connections difficult to locate

Verified buyer

I have had the DFR0165 Mega Sensor Shied V2.4 for a few days as it will be part of my model railroad setup. This shield will be used to connect sensors for track occupancy, and points switching etc. However when this shield is stacked on the Arduino Mega followed by a DCC-EC Motor shield and then a DCC-EX ESP8266 wifi shield there is a problem. In order for the wifi shield to work it needs to connect to tx and rx with jumpers. Unfortunately the sensor shield does not provide access to pins 18 and 19 on the mega. However I have found a way to get a tx and rx connection - use the gravity pins that have connection to the other tx and rx pins on the Arduino mega. DF Robot information is lacking in this detail. However I will use the shield for my project.
