are you sure there's a problem? I mean, it looks like it installed...

its just weird that it didnt go back to the kiauh menu
all the other installs did
austere spruce
well your network connection dropped
so that makes it rather hard to show you a menu
(that's probably related to network manager getting installed)

(that's *probably* related to network manager getting installed)
yeah, im able to ssh back into it and it shows its installed so thats all good. However now when i'm trying to connect through fluidd to change my config settings im getting this:
austere spruce
was it working before?
pastel quiver
nah this is the first time im doing it
austere spruce
okay, so have you flashed your mcu? have you put its ID into the config? Basically, depending exactly where you are in the setup, that unable to connect message is likely completely normal
pastel quiver
wait can i edit the config straight from the sd card if i plug it into my pc?
austere spruce
no
but you can edit from mainsail
that error message doesn't stop you from switching to the machine tab
pastel quiver
okay sick
next issue: downloaded ldo's config and put in mcu, but now I get this error. It seems to be from the thermistor attached to the toolhead but its plugged in.

CMFB whatever isn't a stock thermistor type
there should be a custom declaration for it in the config
let's see here...
pastel quiver
wait i have a hunch, it might not be defined to the correct gpio pin
austere spruce
no
that's not what the message says
the message says (paraphrasing slightly) "klipper doesn't know what this CMFB103F thing is. Did you make it up?" (which obviously you didn't)
pastel quiver
fair enough
austere spruce
that's an error in ldo's config file
gimme a sec, I know I've seen that definition someplace
pastel quiver
Do you know how I can contact them to let them know?
austere spruce
should be able to just report it as an issue on github there
but in the mean time, else where in their docs, I found a definition:
[thermistor CMFB103F3950FANT]
temperature1: 0.0
resistance1: 32116.0
temperature2: 40.0
resistance2: 5309.0
temperature3: 80.0
resistance3: 1228.0
add that to your config, should sort it out
pastel quiver
awesome, thanks! Where can I find that stuff? I notice they also don't have a definition for the display I have so i'm wondering if they have the settings for it somewhere (BTT Pi Tft43 V2.1)
austere spruce
that one, I asked mr google & ended up here:

tight plinth
My display section looks like the following. I have an LDO Trident, and at least this part is still stock:

Note that by default your BTT Pi Tft43 V2.1 will display upside down. I have tried a bunch of stuff to flip it around following youtubers and web suggestions, but nothing worked for me. I'm going to reprint the holder so the display will fit right side up. The cable that came with my kit is plenty long enough.
Also, make sure your ribbon cable is installed the right way. The LDO docs didn't look the same as my screen. My connector points to the side of my screen. The shinny pins face away from the back (blue part of the ribbon closest to the back).
