	Can I change the names of the presets?		Can I change the names of the presets?
	~~Not if you want to continue to edit the presets from the ssh console menu. However~~, if you ~~are prespared~~ to edit the config file directly ~~(every time)~~, and not from the ssh console menu~~, the~~ preset names and parameters can be changed in the file /home/pi/ryde/config.yaml. Be very careful with the formatting; if it all goes wrong, you can use the factory reset option in the advanced settings menu of the ssh console.		Yes, but you have to edit the config file directly, and not from the ssh console menu. The preset names and parameters can be changed in the file /home/pi/ryde/config.yaml. Be very careful with the formatting; if it all goes wrong, you can use the factory reset option in the advanced settings menu of the ssh console.

	Can I control the Ryde from the QuickTune application?		Can I control the Ryde from the QuickTune application?
	No, not ~~yet~~. ~~Hopefully this feature is coming soon~~.		Yes. You need to set up QuichTune with the Ryde's IP Address, and then select QO-100 as the band.

			My HDMI monitor does not work properly with Ryde (particularly 4K).
			Try forcing the hdmi mode in /boot/config.txt. For example by adding the text:
			hdmi_group=2
			hdmi_mode=85
			hdmi_drive=2

			The codes can all be found here https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html#hdmi-mode but here are some common example codes:

			82 1920x1080 60Hz 16:9 1080p
			83 1600x900 60Hz 16:9 reduced blanking
			84 2048x1152 60Hz 16:9 reduced blanking
			85 1280x720 60Hz 16:9 720p
