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>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The mcu application might need to know the current time and date in order to implement some control functions perhaps ?</p><p>It is assumed that the mcu has to connect to the app regularly in order to achieve this.&nbsp; Local (mcu) timing without an RTC could drift dramatically, connecting the phone app would update any local timing parameters.</p><p>From the phone to the mcu would be the only point of reference without the hardware having a RTC module</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>This would make a very useful feature, and would save having to add a RTC module to our projects.</p><p>A new object &quot;Time/Date&quot; with configurable output variables to the sketch (include only the ones you need).</p><p>The time and date data would come from the phone.</p>]]></description>
