TJ Allsky configuration for your SkyCamOne HAT
Independant of which SkyCamOne HAT you have (for RPi 4B or for RPi 5), this page explains how to use your SkyCamOne HAT features with TJ Allsky.
We’ll tell you where to configure each feature.
Stepper motor for focus
Unfortunately at the time of writing this (February 2025), TJ Allsky does not have any focusing mechanisms built in, unlike INDI Allsky.
We have included a Python focus script with the software installation of your SkyCamOne HAT. You can use this script from the command line or via SSH.
SHT31-D temperature and humidity sensor with a dew heater
We would advise you to use one of our SHT31-D temperature and humidity sensors to provide the readings necessary for the dew heater logic within TJ Allsky.
Connect it to your SkyCamOne HAT using any length of QWIIC cable that we provide. Insert the cable into one of the three QWIIC ports on your SkyCamOne HAT.
