Screen worked flawlessly
Bought the 7inch version to use as a Klipper Screen for an SV08. Worked without any changes. Have also used it on an old Ender 3v2 that I converted to Klipper just to test it out. Again worked flawlessly without any special configurations needed.

Bigtreetech never disappoints!
This was an amazing upgrade for my Ender 3 Neo Max! I wanted to add Klipper and this works perfectly for my printer after I was able to build out the config. It's a perfect size and bright and easy to see screen. Overall i'd say that this is one of the best values in Klipper pads out there.

Good Klipper Screen - after tuning it.
I have both the BTT Pad 7 and the Creality Sonic Pad, so I will be comparing them against each other. I have also set up a working Klipper instance on a Raspberry Pi.The Pad 7 is as much stock Klipper as you can get. BTT hasn't messed with anything here. The Pad itself is running stock Klipperscreen, and SSH is turned on by default. It runs Mainsail from the factory, but I installed Fluidd along side Mainsail at port 81. Setting up the firmware for your printer is pretty much like setting it up from a Raspberry Pi. I use the KIAUH script to build and install the MCU firmware.Using the screen is pretty easy, and it's pretty intuitive. I plugged in a Logitech C270 webcam for print monitoring, and after setting it up on the screen, it works as it should, although the webcam stream does not show up on the Pad 7 screen. You can only live view the webcam from a browser in Mainsail (or Fluidd). I only get about 15 FPS from the webcam on Mainsail, but I don't know it that's a camera problem, or the screen.WiFi is atrocious. I couldn't keep it connected to either 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz. Luckily it has a ethernet port, and following my rule that only portable devices connect to WiFi, and permanent devices are wired, this didn't impact me too much.I came with an actual Sandisk 32GB Micro SD card, which was a pleasant surprise.Pros:- Once set up, it seems to be rock solid.- Screen is clear and responsive. I notice no lag.- Just like using Klipper on a RPi, but you get a screen, too- BTT hasn't done any shenanigans with the Klipper install. It's seems to be wide open. In fact, it looks to be running Debian- There are example printer.cfg files on the SD card for a variety of printers.- Can replace the CB1 with an actual Adafriut CM4.- Includes an accelerometer for resonance tuning.Cons:- Setting up your printer is just like stock Klipper. You need to know your exact MCU processor to compile. If you- If your printer doesn't have a config file on the SD card, you need to manually confirm your printer's kinematics, thermals, and everything.- No live camera stream on the Pad 7 screen (not stock anyway, there might be a way to set this up)- Accelerometer cable is too short for big printers.- Basic features are missing from the screen's interface, like PID autotune.Compared to the Creality Sonic pad, it holds it's own. The Sonic pad is easier to set up (if you have a late model Creality printer), and the screen interface has more features. The BTT Pad 7 is more open than the Sonic Pad (Creality isn't running Klipperscreen for the Sonic Pad's UI. I have no idea how to modify it. I suspect it's running some weird firmware).Overall, If a person was looking at these, anything other than a stock late model Creality printer, I would get the BigTreeTech Pad 7. I use the Sonic Pad on my stock Ender 3 S1 Pro, and it works great. I have the BTT Pad 7 running my customized Ender 5 Plus (SKR 1.4 Turbo), and so far it working awesome.

Easiest and best upgrade for the Sovol SV08 Printer
The media could not be loaded. An amazing improvement. So much more control of the printer than with the stock screen. Definitely worth every penny. This was a simple plug in play just disconnect the stock screen or you might have trouble seeing all the icons on the Klipper screen. I had this problem until I disconnected the old screen.

Garbage product and seller
My 1st order was fast, couldnt get it to work right away. Finally did, used it 2 times in a month, and stopped worrking. Tryed to order a replacement on next day, never came.. then again, each time undeliverable. Come to find out, thit isnt Bigtreetech as advertised on the 1st page. Its kingprint as the seller.. didnt know they could fool us like that... anyways. Amazon refunded my money 2 times.

Perfect
This thing is awesome, easy to set up, there are very decent guides online and being able to use klipper on my old machines is the best that has happened to me. This should be the first upgrade you should consider for any printer. Klipper is much more user friendly than Marlin in many ways.

Pad7 stopped working after 2 weeks
Worked for about 2 weeks and then just stopped. Lost all configurations and No longer connects to wifi and screen becomes unresponsive. No real documentation for set up included, so not really a beginner friendly product. I had it set up and worked well, but not for long.For the price, I cannot recommend. Get yourself a Rasberry Pi for about $100 less...plenty of documentation online from the Pi/klipper communities. Apparently the Pad7 is notorious for the wifi antenna going bad, which I assume is one of the issues I am experiencing.If BTT releases a more reliable version, with better set up instructions, this could be a great beginner friendly entry into Klipper...but as is a few weeks in and I have a $150 paper weightðŸ˜
