We all know they drift somewhat...</p><p>If you had an object RTC that can deliver YY MM DD Hr Mn Sc as 6 bytes from the GUI, we could use the rising edge of the &quot;Connect Flag&quot; to update our hardware (or even software) clocks, making the initialisation process redundant. Every successful connection re-synchronises our local timing ...</p><p>Since the date/time is already display on the GUI, the RTC data could be a hidden object, like the &quot;sound&quot; object, but would be available in the output variables if configured in the GUI, which it doesn&#039;t need to be like any other object.</p>]]></content>
