it's still a big mess as I haven't worked at home much this week, and still unsure how I want to restructure external monitor placement

Went out in the cold windy night to take pics. Most weren't great, due to wind+long exposure blurring everything, but I learned a lot more about the camera's settings and how they affect the image

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

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

I glanced over and saw the pattern on my phone screen, so aligned it a bit nicer. I had the dodecahedron light out to show someone else, but it provided a great keylight
