Yep, you got it. We're big fans of Excalidraw!

I've uncapped MaxRequestWorkers while I wait for the Cloudflare queue, it should work now (I believe you were seeing an error related to TLS timeout).

It's kinda surprising to find comments in Russian in code :) https://github.com/iliasam/OpenSimpleLidar/blob/master/Firmw...

It just translates the code above it into Russian (or perhaps the one above translates it into English?).
