Welcome to the community Brett! You are doing great. Simple way to get habPanel going is start the browser on the tablet and point it at the network address of your pi
mine looks something like this
http://192.168.1.114:8080/habpanel/index.html#/
it will work on any laptop or desktop on your local area network as well
You might want to go to the Paper UI and go to
Add-ons —> User Interfaces
and make sure habpanel is installed
Also, once you get it working, a lot of us use (and I personally love) HabPanelViewer
