I must be a special kind of stupid/dumb with a large helping of unlucky plus equal parts incompetent and impatient.

Got the AIO V2 installed, even got the 21700 battery tray and nvme in and working as intended.  
SDR is working as it should. tar1090 works but I’m actually not 100% sure about that one, I need to learn how to properly use the features.  
PyGPSClient is blank but I am able to select the AMA0.  
The big thing for me is the meshtastic. Whole reason I got the setup. I can’t get to the localhost on the browser, both chromium and firefox say connection refused. I used the cmd Rex has in the aio thread. It didn’t work. I did the long install in the separate setup guide. I got to the start meshtasticd service and I get an error.

Sorry for the quality pic, my phone sucks.  
I’m need a break, I’ve been at this for several hours now and about ready to pull what’s left of my hair out.

I’m leaving this here in hopes someone might have an idea of what I’m doing wrong.

You need to restart meshtasic try the below command you need to do this on each reboot unfortunately until rex can apply to .Img or you can make a script on each reboot. You GPS will also work and tar1090 once this command is done.let me know how you get on.

sudo systemctl restart meshtasticd

Same issue. I still can’t get the “https:/localhost” to work. I’m going work on getting the GPS to work correctly. Going to start with checking the connectors on the board. visually they’re seated properly at the antenna mount.

I moved the “dtparam=uart0” from under the [CM5] section of the “config.txt” in firmware to the [all] section. I had progress by having the “Welcome to minicom 2.10” message but no actual GPS data shows up. Checked the PyGPSClient and it’s the same as before.
