Well, that’s unfortunate. I ran into a few bumps along the way: this, the missing instruction to uncomment hdmi_force_hotplug=1 from the config.txt, and one of my speaker wires being disconnected (woo bonus soldering practice!). But thanks to this community, I’ve been able to get through it all, and I’ve got it up and running to the point where any other changes I make are just minor tweaks and personal preferences.
