Ok. I did the thing. I had #kiauh set up two #klipper and Moonraker instances, uploaded the Klipper firmware to my raspberry pi pico, and then set it up like this:
- Pico Klipper is a "none" printer type with one [gpio_pin] entry named "relay1"
- Main Moonraker has a [power] entry that uses generic http to drive the Pico Moonraker's relay1
- result: I can control printer power over USB from Mainsail through a Rube Goldberg machine of http servers

You are looking for something like #KIAUH. Here is a quick link to just see what it looks like, I think I actually used this page when I installed it a few weeks ago, but I definitely used KIAUH.

I chose #Raspbian OS lite to get a fresh, fast, and clean #RadpberryPi. It was not only recommended, but I wanted to use #KIAUH ratger than using #MainsailOS.
This gave me more storage space, and I also knew what was already installed.
This also solved one of my problems when I used #Klipper with #Octoprint and #OctoKlipper.
I had a "mcu error," which I never could get a solution for. I had to restart my printer and Klipper repeatedly until they finally would connect.
This was solved by following the #Mainsail and #KIAUH docs and installing the Raspberry Pi MCU firmware.
These problems are now solved.
And damn, is this blazing fast.
Although I did clean my fan and heatsink and decided to #overclock my Raspberry Pi, the UI is so responsive I can live without my printer screen.

Although I enjoyed my #Klipper transition. I stayed with #Octoprint, which was actually the final straw.
Although I could live without my printer's display, the lag and sluggish and slow #UI of Octoprint just pushed me over the limit. I felt as if I couldn't react to my printer anymore.
So with a heavy heart, I removed my SD card, wiped it and installed a clean version of #Raspbian OS Lite, and used #KIAUH to install #Klipper, #Mainsail, #KlipperScreen, #Crowsnest, #Moonraker and #Octoeverywhere
