Update to version 1.18 (Bookworm) and 2.14 (Trixie) is already available

[hudiy]

We are happy to announce that Hudiy 1.18/2.14 is now available. You can find the release highlights below:

Android Auto
We implemented a QoS optimization queue for the Android Auto protocol, reducing projection latency by approximately 3 ms per frame in our benchmarks.

We also fixed an issue with swipe gesture handling on displays that require margin configuration.

Raspberry Pi OS Trixie

We also improved time configuration via the companion app for the latest Raspberry Pi OS Trixie release, which requires a sudo password.

---------------------------

You can download and install the update using the updater program – https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/blob/ma ... d#updating

Please note that the updater performs an incremental update (version by version) to avoid the OS corruption during the update process. If you are using an older version of Hudiy, you may need to run the updater multiple times. You can check your current version in Menu -> Hudiy -> Settings -> About.

A description of all new features and configuration options is available on our GitHub in the updated documentation – GitHub.

Hello,
All changes in individual versions are described in the release announcement topics. We don't currently maintain a centralized changelog. Are you looking for information about a specific feature?

I'm updating now. just curious, what is the best way to run a python code in Hudiy setup? I remember I need to be in venv environment in early version.

If all of your script's dependencies can be installed via apt, then you don't need to use a venv. Using apt for the dependencies installation makes running the scripts later much simpler.

A venv is needed (for instance) if you have to install dependencies in a different version than the one available through apt or when they aren't present in the apt repository at all. Raspberry Pi OS doesn't allow installing Python dependencies directly into the system via pip install, which is why a venv is necessary to isolate these environments.

I was curious if this was all the changes due to this remark - “

Hi Hudiy,
if the python code uses the hudiy module and api, where should we put the custom script that can link to the api or hudiy modules?
"
import common.Api_pb2 as hudiy_api
from common.Client import Client, ClientEventHandler
"
I just trying to find a sustainable setup. I'm noob...

With these imports, both the API and client must be located in the common directory, at the same level as your script.

It works this way in the gpio, obd_charts, and idle_screen examples as well:

Thanks Hudiy. so as long as I have the "common" folder inside my script directory, it can access the module and api.

[wkl3968]

May I suggest some add on:
a shutdown splash or animation build into Hudiy
A CAN bus script that can connect to the OBD2 dashboard instead of the ELMs?
A different Hudiy layout Theme
Animated Clock startup

I guess I'm asking too much.
