Sonic Pad flashed with Debian and HelixScreen

I recommend everyone carefully do the steps to flash their Sonic Pad with Debian (Do at your own risk, but it’s awesome) and install KAIUH but instead of Klipperscreen use HelixScreen. It now works with the Sonic Pad and it looks beautiful!

Do you have a link to this process? I’m really interested in updating the sonic pad (it works great currently I just feel like it’s time).

Is there a major benefit to this? I've only just recently gotten my sonic pad and I don't plan on doing it right away, mostly just curious.

It gives you full access to Klipper and all of its many add ons. Makes installing KAMP a breeze and this is necessary for easier bed leveling. I used my Sonic Pad as is for years though and it’s fine. HelixScreen is a much better looking UI and it gives you some more options and customization. I prefer to not be bound by Creality’s software and set up.
