So I get 1001 questions since I built this and instead of continuing to piecemeal my responses, which is inevitably what happens in a thread, I take the time to actually write up an article describing what I did for reference. Then, when linking said article, I get told an article is just too much to read, need a TL;DR. Lol I will just quit posting while I am ahead...
The writeup was a good idea, looking forward to part 2!
