so uh earlier today after basically everything worked, I accidentally shorted something and fried the STM32 chip that brains it all...
ordered a replacement for just the STM32 and hope that's all that needs replacing
did get a real nice pic before that tho
cut and glued some M3 standoffs to fit under the M2 standoffs the runcam (right board) came with. Now they don't push into eachother anymore :D
