the waiting game works and uart is working again :D

i also decided to try to use ai to get a peripheral working. so far i got the magnetometer working but not sure if the orientation is right
gonna write a blogpost about my experience. tldr, ai has a great breadth of knowledge to pick at, but sometimes its confidently wrong which is annoying
i hope to also get the accelerometer working. as its on the same i2c bus. maybe other things like the vibra might be easy to get working too?
