Does anybody know how to get onscreen information on top of the UI of retropie like serial readings or let's say an image?
My plan is to get the readings my arduino spits out via serial to be displayed on the screen.

Onscreen elements
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to inform you that I am currently moving very far away, and therefore I am very busy.
UPDATE: I am still alive! My ISP is setting up my internet on the 19th of January at my new place, explaining my offline-ness.
If you write me a PM, I will very likely take some time to respond.
Also, my 2nd build will soon go on, so if you've been following it, please stay tuned!
Many thanks for your understanding!

Re: Onscreen elements
Yep, Seems you're on the same page as me on a lot of things 
The linux framebuffer is what you're looking for. I plan to write a battery meter overlay. Kite already has a working prototype though. Never enough hours in the day!

Re: Onscreen elements
Tried this one. It works when emulationstation is not running, but i could not get it working while emulationstation was running. Any ideas?Camble wrote:Check this out: https://gist.github.com/FredEckert/3425429

Re: Onscreen elements
Have you found a solution to draw over emulationstation? I have noticed that pngview works good for retroarch emu's, but not the ones that don't use retroarch, namely Nintedo 64activex wrote:Thank you sir

Re: Onscreen elements
I don't have any non-retroarch emu's atm, but it draws over emulationstation gui. Have you tried to assign pngview to layer 999999?sotasystems wrote:Have you found a solution to draw over emulationstation?

I tried 1000 and -1000 before and thought that should be it, but it didn't work. 999999 magicaly did the trick!
