Phew. I should warn you, this is information dense, I really didn't want to make "Yet Another Hour Long Follow Me As I Type" tutorial so I hope you are all OK with a hybrid approach to this, where I spend less time boring you and put all the details below.
I probably won't do many vids in this format but feedback is welcome anyway.

This video is how to install OctoDash on OctoPrint maybe with OctoPi on a Raspberry Pi, mainly with a Pimoroni Hyperpixel. It's...not that simple as it turns out. So I've tried to make it as straightforward as possible. Enjoy. Or don't.
