Your're correct...
The ribbon cables go to the two cameras in the front, and are also used for interconnects between the three FPGAs.
All I'll say for now is that there are two FALCON systems and a third FPGA for somthing else... I am running a non-released version of the FALCON firmware that has an additional feature.

If it's falling apart it's a mechanical problem. If it's spewing smoke it's a electrical problem.
If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.
