Hinted command for enabling SPI might disable internal screen of uConsole #53

When i first launched the GUI it showed an SPI connection error and suggested to run sudo raspi-config nonint do_spi 0 (which is also stated at the bottom of your readme)

At least for my combination of CM5 and Trixie(Rex), this command immediately shuts of the uConsoles screen and rebooting has no effect.
I had to delete the automatically added dtparam=spi=on line from config.txt using SSH to get the screen back.

This is probably an issue with Trixie or raspi-config and not with your software, but it would be great to include a warning so others won't run into this issue.

In my case, adding dtoverlay=spi1-1cs to the Pi5 section in /boot/firmware/config.txt was enough to get the LoRa modules SPI connection working.
