I'm struggling in the biggest way

I have a pi3b working great. it is running 3.54 flawlessly.

Now… I’m trying to set up another one (for a different project) and I am just not getting anywhere. I burn the image… but when I put the sd card and power up I get the dual victron screen, then the prompt, but I can’t see anything on the my phone (Bluetooth) or anywhere else.

Is there something I’m missing? I’ve tried even going back to 2.8, 2.9, etc. NOTHING is working.

thoughts?

Your question may be best served if it is moved to the modifications section where you may even find answers. I could be related to a bluetooth driver if that is not working by the look of it.

Thanks… it has been just the oddest thing. I tried two other Pi3B units. Different SD cards, etc. The Pi3Bs are fine because I could get a full Pi OS to run with no issues (including wifi and bt).

I hope someone comes along.
