Traded my Raspberry Pi 4 for a Rpi 5

[NoGuru]

I know its not a needed upgrade but I think it was worth it.

It was pretty easy to just move my config over and reinstall packages. For example I use Shake n Tune for my input shaping, I just copy my config over and go to the Github page and reinstall, and it all works.

The Pi 5 uses, MORE POWER BABY, so I bought a meanwell DIN PSU and use that to power it. I just put double side sticky tape and slapped it to the bottom of the printer for now.

It boots way faster but I also added an M.2 tophat to it and run klipper off the SSD.
Running input shaper sends my results way faster like 10 seconds instead of taking minutes to calculate.
what else...oh, it was just fun to do.

If anyone has questions I would be happy to try and answer.

One thing I lost and I have not looked into much is my Klipperscreen. I use one of the BTT screens with a ribbon cable and PI5 has mini HDMI or something. I need to figure out how to get that back up and working.

If anyone has suggestions let me know?

This ?
Came with a Waveshare 4.3" (not a great fan of this BTT display and its stupid potentiometer !)

It's close to the same. I have the TFT50, but it's the same. I think I am just going to delete the screen for now. I know BTT has the HDMI5 or whatever, but I really never use the screen.

Algo que perdí y que no he revisado mucho es mi Klipperscreen. Uso una de las pantallas BTT con un cable plano y la PI5 tiene mini HDMI o algo similar. Necesito averiguar cómo recuperarla y que funcione.

Si alguien tiene sugerencias ¿me lo puede hacer saber?

Tenes que comprarte un cable plano de 22 a 15 pines para poder conectar la pantalla a la pi5

why not just use an intel mini pc instead? cost is pretty much the same once you factor in the m2 ssd

I could and I have a few of them but I also had the Pi5 on hand and I like the small form factor.
