@rchadgray, yes, it was the right link. There's only 1 paragraph which basically says "use extra text setting". |

Sorry i am more confused. the extratext is for ZWO cameras. I have the HQ camera. @maserowik do you have anything you can share on this topic? I did not see any public repositories under your account. I can write the curl or wget commands to get my text. I am just unsure how to interface this text with the AllSky code. Chad |

@rchadgray you will see two txt file attached to files under the photo i saved the extra file on my pi 0 * * * * /home/pi/AllSky_Personal/extra.sh then in the allsky web gui added the output to the extra text file set the time to 5 minutes if you have any question please let me know. MIke |

Hmm i updated my software per these intructions and i do not see this text file option under camera settings. Is there another git that i should have pulled then what is in the instructions? Chad |

@rchadgray Sorry, I thought you had a ZWO. Unfortunately the RPiHQ camera has very limited abilities to add text to the image sk in doesn'thave the "extra text" option. We hope to fix that in the future. |

I will just write up a bash script to use image magick to add the text to the images in the mean time. |

@rchadgray after you've done that would you please post your script? I would like to see it and I am sure others would as well. |

Sure no problem. |

It will be something like this only with a CURL to get the text and a imagemagick to add the text. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23236898/add-text-on-image-at-specific-point-using-imagemagick |

Here is the first go. It needs a lot more logic for current date so it monitors the correct folder after midnight. It is a proof of concept and works on my Raspberry Pi 4 with 8gig ram. Slower raspberry Pis will probably struggle. |

Cool idea to use Grafana. I use it at work and did not think to use it for the weather data! My weather station is this project. It has more to do with Astronomy since it has a Sky Quality measurement to calculate cloud cover and sky brightness. |

I have been thinking about adding a SQM to my setup, I bought a Primaluce Eagle 4 for one of my telescopes and that has a built in SQm which works well. Grafana works really well and has a really nice UI. |

Yes, SQM is interesting. It appears to not be a perfect science so far, but i have only had it running for two nights and they are all cloudy. I have lots of values i can change to get it setup for my sky view. That Primaluce Eagle 4 looks awesome! I will read up on it. I use Indi Server on a raspberry pi to control everything for astrophotography. Then use Kstars/Ekos to control everything from my couch. i am thinking of offloading all my data into a database and using grafana now that you gave me that idea. I wonder if i can get the data to play back and keep up with the speed of a timelapse video. |

I gave up with things like the Air and Pi's running Ekos as they were just too unreliable for me. I bit the bullet and just automated the scope so I can stay in the warm ;-) Grafana is great but I am not sure it will play back at the same speed as the timelapse, I could be wrong tho :-) |

Hoi All I do the same as @maserowik @rchadgray define the extra text file and I update that file via node-red(https://nodered.org/) which is running a also on my all-sky PI. I start using that to control my heater, which switch on or of with a relay.
I feed my AAG weather information in there. the last version of the AAG SOLO weather station has MQTT active. I created a flow which based on MQTT collect the values and put that in the file. My AAG SOLO updates are within 30 seconds will moonless nights my exposure time is also 30 seconds. I am not a scientist so that for me oke The flow looks like this
My ultimate goal is that the cloud threshold of my weather station will be updated depending on the status report of the all-sky. I am not a programmer but I can create some small script, in combination with node-red, does the job for me ;-) if there is interest in my flow give me pm the I will share it. |

I am starting to like the idea of storing all this data (including images) in a database and doing a graphical representation with Grafana. As long as your data has a time stamp you can make some really cool data displays. I did work a bit more on my script using imagemagick to put text on the images that AllSky creates. it works and needs more fine tuning. Also you need to know linux in order to set it up and use it. Also your weather station needs an API or way of getting the data out via curl. |

The newest version of capture_RPiHQ is now available. It supports Bullseye and text overlays. |

Hello, i am using the RPI HQ camera and i would like to add data from my weather station to the images.
Is this a feature that is being worked on?
Can i use image magick to add the text to my images? I would want to make an HTTP request to get the data from my weather station first then insert it into the image made.
Any tips on where in the code to look at adding this? I write scripts, but I am not a C++ coder
Thanks!
Chad
