Check over my work? Dual esp32-s3 marauder/bruce + show me yours I’ll show you mine

Hardware:
Nrf24
Esp32-s3 lonely binary external antenna
CYD 2.8” capacitive touch screen integrated into esp32-s3 wroom
Flux capacitor from rabbit labs (c1101 idr the other)
Sequre gps m10-18 (I converted from ceramic to ipex external antenna)
Tp4056 usb c charging module
Mt3608 adjustable boost module
(2x) iPhone batteries 3.82v in parallel, chose them over 18650 because flat

Pack of heat sinks
Laptop fan
Might hook up a capacitor to smooth out any voltage changes.

Hardware on screen is Bruce
Marauder multi boards on the esp32 (not sure if I have problems it doesn’t pop up on WiFi and red light is solid.
I was going to use my pcb board kit to build a marauder and was having a hard time with aesthetic and performance as far as antennas. but then I had a genius idea. Or dumb idk. I build motorcycles and do microsoldering on clusters for repairs or odometer corrections as they store odometer in eeprom.

So i had the idea to take one of the r6 clusters and mount the cyd and all antennas on cluster while maintaining the cluster appearance and LEDs.

I have a second screen that’s not touch screen if I can make that work displaying voltage, and current gps coordinates. I’ll use the 06-16 r6 cluster since it has 2

If it’s too much trouble I’ll use 03-05/06-09,cluster with single. LCD. Plenty of room

Big questions what order should antennas be?

I was thinking from left to right.
Nrf24 , flux capacitor , GPs, esp32.

Is this okay as far as interference?

What can I put to better shield them

Am I missing anything? Is there any modifications I should do?

Should I just use Bruce all the way around? Is there a ‘fast’ method to switch between operating systems if I wanted to

Thank you! If anyone wants to share pics of your build it’s always welcome.!

Need help with CYD 2.8 capacitive firmware -screen is dead / building a perfect capable marauder

I spent 45 minutes writing this out and somehow I accidentally cleared the whole thing so this is take 2.
Sigh.

I am wanting to build a marauder that can do everything. BLE,2.4,5 ,sub-GHz. I bought a c1101 flux capacitor by rabbit labs with high gain antenna ( ipex)
I wanted to combine the flux to the marauder but I’m not sure if I shouldn’t or even can.

I have spent 8 hours all night trying different flashers and reading GitHub repos over and over and trying different boards like 3.5”c , 2.8r , 2.4c to see what will make this screen work. It’s a hosyend esp32-s3 2.8” capacitive CYD usb C display with (Black pcb) and sd slot. I plugged it into laptop and demo screen came up. I went to just call mekokos repos and the screen turned black and nothing brought it back yet. I’ve tried pushing boot and or reset and although it flashes fine the screen died and nothing has changed it. And nobody has that screen listed either (2432s028C usb c) I think that’s it.

What do I do?
Should I be flashing a specific firmware from manufacturer for the screen and save marauder firmware for the other esp32 i will have?
How can I resolve this? (Explain like I’m super slow just so I can not get lost. Please)
Can I combine the c1101 flux capacitor to the marauder?
Are there any good diy tutorials you can link that achieves what I wish to. I mostly am looking for something to catch my eye for planning where everything will go.

Any other tips or helpful info is always welcome.

List of my supplies for marauder (Gemini gave me the list)

Lonely binary esp32-s3 wroom with ipex external high gain 1100m antenna
Esp32-s3 2.8” type c CYD CAPACITIMBMM
USB to ttl serial ft232RL
3.7v lithium ion battery 2000mah
Mt3608 Dc-dc adjustable boost module
Tp4056 type c charger module
Sequre m10-18 gps chip (I bought the ceramic antenna accidentally so I have to solder a pigtail for ipex.
NRF24l01+pa+ lna rf module with high gain external antenna
USB logic analyzer
USB to ttl ft232rl adapter
Dsd tech shu09c2
Flux capacitor with high gain antenna c1101

I have: a lot of heat syncs, npn transistors, buck converters, bigger transistors, resistors , arduino minis , perforated pcb board assortments with long headers and clamps and small wires for breadboard , capacitors and resistors. Smd components and non smd. The arduino starter kits with all the small components and modules tons of LEDs , a giant 5 lb bag of random guts(pcb,components, motors) to children’s toys/ monitors/electrical devices

(Ai made me a list of things to get. Some i opted to get a better newer device)

Thank you!!
