Ok, plugging focus Blue 14 5th Gen Braille display in before turning laptop on helps! It can now type letters!
What I cannot find in the Freedom Scientific material is how to navigate the home screen, find apps or utilities and how to activate or close them. I know that sounds pretty basic but I am starting from scratch so any pointers very welcome!
Thanks
Harry
