I left it running all the while, I don't have enough hands to do all the
steps and monitor it.

One could emulate the cap charging plan by using a battery to get going
normally and then briefly interrupt the power... I just tried it and it
didn't seem to help.

Of course IO_3V3 touches a lot of things...
