Displaying temperature from the RetroPie menu.

[MrVess]

If you'd like to see the temperature from the Retropie menu, this works.

I added the below as temperature.sh to my retropiemenu directory:

#!/bin/bash
cpu=$(</sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp)
echo -e "\e[39m"
echo -e "\e[32m $(date) \e[93m @ \e[35m $(hostname)"
echo -e "\e[97m ___________________________________________"
echo -e "\e[34m GPU: \e[91m $(/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp)"
echo -e "\e[36m CPU: \e[31m $((cpu/1000))'C"
echo -e "\e[39m"
sleep 5

I used this clipart as the icon of the new item (it should go into retropiemenu\icons, and be 512x512 - mine is named temperature.png):

For the /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/gamelist.xml, I added:

<game>
<path>./temperature.sh</path>
<name> Display Temperature</name>
<desc>Display CPU & GPU temperature.</desc>
<image>./icons/temperature.png</image>
<playcount>1</playcount>
<lastplayed>20170123T000000</lastplayed>
</game>

This is a little neat thing.
