Cannot connect ELM327
Posted: Tue Dec 09, 2025 2:30 pm
I've setup the example OBD widget in the hudiy dashboard. Set the MAC for the device in the main config (this is definitely correct) and paired the device to the pi through the GUIs Bluetooth menu
When I try to connect it to the pi, it says connection failed as there's no usable services
Carrying on regardless, I've rebooted, and it's gone into Hudiy but the widget doesn't display any data
Now, using the connection status tool in your example package, it says state 2, which obviously means it's not connected
Why

Also, does anyone know of a way to dim a new waveshare screen? I know that's aside but worth asking
