Hi there, hope i’ve not missed the obvious but can’t get out of the Hudiy so that i can change config json etc

Thanks

Hello,
you can close Hudiy by pressing Alt + F4 or via SSH by executing the pkill hudiy command.

Another, more advanced method is to use the API and register your own custom action, which can later be bound to (for example) a menu item (https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/blob/ma ... ME.md#menu) or shortcut (https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/blob/ma ... #shortcuts). We prepared an example how to handle custom actions at https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/blob/ma ... hAction.py. In the code that handles your custom action, you can execute pkill hudiy command.

Perfect thank you, I had tried this but it was a dodgy keyboard issue.

I have no trouble connecting via SSH after already exiting hudiy. However, I am unable to connect via ssh when the hudiy hotspot is active, even when my mobile is connected to the same hotspot. Any ideas on what I'm missing please?

We couldn't get the built-in Wi-Fi on either the Pi 4B or Pi 5 to run in AP and client mode at the same time. We tried both through the network manager on the taskbar and directly with nmcli, but the issue always comes down to the Wi-Fi firmware crashing.

The simplest fix, if you want wireless working both ways, is to just plug in a second Wi-Fi adapter. In Hudiy you can then set which adapter should act as the hotspot by configuring its MAC address (hardwareAddress in https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/blob/ma ... md#hotspot), and use the other one to connect to your regular Wi-Fi network.

Most Android phones ignore Wi-Fi networks without internet access, so they won't connect by default. When you try, Android usually pops up a message box saying the network has no internet and asks if you still want to connect.

If Android Auto is what triggered the hotspot connection, then that connection will only be available to Android Auto itself and won't be shared with other apps on the phone.

Or..., you can connect phone with USB cable and change USB mode to tethering + set up "Raspberry Pi Connect" (https://connect.raspberrypi.com/). Then you can access RPi shell and also remote desktop with browser from anywhere. It works even with wireless AA running.

I am running into a problem.....

Looking through the Github repo, I noticed that there is an action included "quit_hudiy". I have edited the shortcuts.json to add a short cut with a close button and assigned the "quit_hudiy" action to it.

The shortcut appears and I can push it, but nothing happens. Am I missing a step here?

Excuse the inexperience,

Thanks!

What Hudiy version do you use (Settings -> About)? quit_hudiy action was introduced in version 1.2. Current versions are 1.4 for Bookworm and 2.0 for Trixie.

For updating Hudiy please use the updater - https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy?tab=rea ... e#updating
