.... gotten all the parts and started to build the casainho display. Is this the correct route? I am confused which motor firmware goes along with this display. I am using the v0.20.0 of the display firmware. The last motor firmware release in the main repo is 2020, very old.
The most up to date firmware seems to be from the emmebrusa project. But this project doesn't mention EasyDIY display at all but rather VLCD5-VLCD6-XH18. I also have the VLCD5 display which came with the motor.
Should I be building the EasyDIY display or just using the emmebrusa firmware with the VLCD5? I was under the impression that VLCD5 were no longer supported because of the main repo wiki endorsing the easyDIY display.

There are several builds from different developers. That is why it is confusing.
The first OSF builds are done and coördinated by
Casainho, for KTLCD3, SW102 and 850C/860C display. He never supported stock display's like vlcd5.
He also edit the main wiki in line of his personal developement, meaning that old, by him abandoned, developments aren't there anymore.
(If you know how to handle Github history, it is possible to find old wiki info)
Later he developed a
wireless version for Garmin,and again later he made a
diy display based on that.
Because Casainho has moved to Bafang M500, he has abandoned almost all Tsdz2 developement. That is why you find his last release for 2020.
Based on the original development, but still up to date are:
mspider65 build. This is with stock display, but settings wireless done with smartphone. For that you must build a wireless module.
mbrusa builds, for stock display, KT lcd3 display and 860C display based on mspider65 build
With stock display basic settings are done on PC before flashing, other settings are done with display
With Lcd3 and 860C all setting are done with display which must be flashed too.
imho it isn't possible to use diy display with mbrusa build, without knowledge how to do that.
mbrusa OSF for stock display is the most simple one, because you only need to flash the controller
For other displays you need to flash the display too, and there is no guarantee that something has changed with third party display's, which is the case with KTlcd3, SW102 and 850C with the consequence they aren't flashable anymore.
That was also the reason why Casainho started with the diy display.
For diy display or mspider65 module you have to build something yourself with hardware.
