Proper beacon mesh sequence
VCore 4 documentation indicates that the beacon initial calibration should be done on the raw aluminum plate. It is only after the heat pad is mounted that it states to also affix the magnetic sticker. Is this accurate? The pictures show the build plate in the bed when manually leveling. Also the beacon initial calibration command does not exist, what do I use then?

do you initial beacon testing without the heater or magnet sticker attached. You are going to need to plug in the heat pad thermistor or klipper will error out. Just set the heater inside the printer on the bottom metal plate and plug in ONLY the thermistor. Leave the AC power not hooked up at this point. Run your beacon testing and make sure everything is correct. The last thing you want to do is have to replace the magnet and heater as well if the bed is defective for some reason.
