Kind soul able to examine my crowsnest.conf to help get my 2nd Camera working (2nd non-VAOC Camera)

Hi I wondered if someone could give me some times on how to get my second camera working. I got it working easily with my vcore 3.1 but my new vcore 4,0 IDEX has a VAOC and I think thats interfering with things. I tried to follow this video guide but I dont seem to be able to pick it up after a reboot. I have shared my crowsnest.conf if it helps, its camera 2 I'm trying to get working.

Best practice procedure questions regarding hot & cold mesh profiles for minimizing failures.

Excuse my ignorance but coming from Prusa's this is all new to me and I have a million questions. My primary objective is to minimize the .100-200 microns gantry bow which I believe can knock off objects from the bed after 2-3hrs into a print even with the lid off my 2.0 with PLA temps. I believe this also increases the probability of layer shifts - Should create and load a "hot" profile when the bed is hot?
- If so, how long do I leave it to soak? - What will the profile do to the first layer? Will it be a bit extra squished presumably? - Are there any handy macro's that I can somehow run prior to a print to heat soak? Should I even bother doing that? - I have identified the commands to save and load a particular profile but will they be overwritten with the bed mesh procedure that's seems to run prior to every print? - Is there any RATOS documentation on how to change the default 7x7 to something like 9x9? I tried adding something that seemed appropriate in user overrides, but it was simply ignored I believe.

Has anyone ever wired one of these into the Ocopus

Has anyone ever wired one of these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004378719628.html into the Octopus 1.1 board? Probably should have checked compatibility before I purchased it. I see references to Duet boards on the project website https://orbiterprojects.com/orbiter-filament-sensor/ however nothing BTT related. By some miricle I have managed to successfully assemble/wire my RR500 without frying it and knowing my luck I will do this wrong.

Test end stop functionality after brief accidental reversal, + hotwires

Reversed my endtop wires at one end but it seems they needed reversing at both ends 😦 Noticed one of the cables was getting a little hot now I am concerned I have damaged the board or more specifically the end-stop circuitry. Is there a command to test the end stops?
