Hello Michael, Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried different cables.

But I still can't get the braille display to input or use it for navigation. Currently running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS so I can't test the Brailliant BI 40X. It's the only issue I am experiencing I can't see it being a hardware issue, and all the drivers have been installed. No issues with any other peripheral devices.

I have the Alva and the FS drivers compiled in and this configuration brltty is self determining which driver to load. So my suggestion: since your version has probably all drivers compiled in let brltty self determine what to do. So comment out all lines in /etc/brltty.conf and I mean ALL!!! It's worth a try it works here.
