I had one, raspberry pi based, it was OK~ish...
Has any of you built a diy all-sky camera? I'm looking for ideas for my next one.

I did one a few years ago:

www.cloudynights.com/topic/494697-raspib...ky-camera/?p=6499387

nice, thanks for the link.

I made one this summer. It's on the road to the Chile somewhere on a boat in the middle of Atlantic ocean

What's inside the box please? Can you share the spec?

Raspberry with INDI which control a QHY5-II under the dome. The raspberry controls also an arduino. All sensors are attached to the arduino.

At first, I wanted to use meteoduino to control the sensor but the number of output is limited and difficult to program. I spent a lot of time with it and decided to give it up. So I program arduino to speak via serial and raspberry is listening through python code.

For the sensors :
- anemometer with mean and max value
- IR sensor as cloud sensor
- Internal DHT22 to measure temperature and humidy inside the seal box
- External DHT22 to measure temperature and humidity outside the box
- Internal BMP280 to measure pressure
- Solar panel to measure ambiant light
- Rain sensor with temperature control

Nice setup, do you have the gauge code, they do look nice.
Where did you mount the external DHT22, mine got wet today and stopped working.

Thank you, it was a lot of work and hopefully some piece of the project were already done.

We'll see at the end of october if everything works as planned. I forgot to say that raspberry is in readonly mode to avoid corrupted data in case of electric failure. I can access to the allsky via ssh to change python code and also to upload sketch in arduino with command line.

The external DHT22 is the side of the allsky and after taking a shower , humidity sensor was saturated for a long time. So I'm using the hack of the year found in my garbage : a plastic bottle cap, some glue. Just have to cut, one side of the cap to let air passing throuh.

For the gauge, I'm using the meteostationmeteostation tutorial. I like them, this is javascript :

Thanks for the wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/SteelSeries_Gauges link, I'll see what I can do.
When you said "The external DHT22 is the side of the allsky and after taking a shower , humidity sensor was saturated for a long time. ", you managed to get it working again or bought a new one?

I guess my mistake too was to let it get wet. It's reading 99.9% humidity.

Yes it's working again with help of the sun. Did you try to dry it with an hair dryer?

Good to hear you were able to fix it, not tried the hairdryer yet.

To get back to the all-sky camera, I had a Raspeberry pi with the pi camera, it was ok~ish.
Thinking about using a QHY5 this time.

Qhy5 is noisy and there is no shutter. I have to write some python code to remove some fake stars in the sky
Let's say this is a first version of the allsky. The plan at the beginning was to draw and 3d print the enclosure . Not enough time to complete the entire project.

Are you using the meteostation stuff. I saw a lot of activity in the github repo? Lot of improvement ?
