Re: ntptime not included with PyBoard firmware
I understand your point. Thanks. Right now, I'm far more concerned about the fact that the NTP code completely kills the Wifi station until I reset. That issue is described in another thread though. In other news, my GT-U7 GPS modules arrived today and they seem to work great with the PyBoard. I see...

Re: ntptime not included with PyBoard firmware
That's cool! I wasn't aware of that device. You still have to set the external device though. I'm going to try with a GPS later this week when the module arrives. BTW, the timezone correction is a piece of cake. It doesn't require all the memory in the world, thereby overloading the little PyBoard's...

Re: ntptime kills the wifi station, hard reset required to fix
Has anyone attempted to replicate my problem posted above? I included a single conglomerated code snippet that you can simply copy out of the forum and paste into the REPL. You'll have to assign your Wi-Fi endpoint name and password on one line, but other than that, it's a straight copy and paste te...

Any new tiles or shields in the works?
Besides the currently available SENSA and 36LED tiles, the touch-LCD, and the storage expander, are there any plans for new peripherals coming down the pike? Just wondering.

Re: ntptime not included with PyBoard firmware
Topics are getting crossed here. My fault since I brought up multiple issues. I'm less concerned with the timezone correction, which I realize is a pretty complex issue, and more concerned with proper NTP synchronization. The basic NTP method offered in the ESP8266 subproject seems to work pretty we...

Re: ntptime kills the wifi station, hard reset required to fix
I've determined that simply attempting to build the DGRAM socket is sufficient to cause this problem. Note the following modification to the code in the previous post: def get_ntp_time(): NTP_QUERY = bytearray(48) NTP_QUERY[0] = 0x1B addr = socket.getaddrinfo("pool.ntp.org", 123)[0][-1] s = socket.s...

ntptime kills the wifi station, hard reset required to fix
There is a module ntptime.py buried in the ESP8266 subproject. It isn't included in the PyBoardD firmware, but I copied the file over the flash anyway. It works perfectly well to sync up the PyBoardD's RTC from an NTP (modulo the fact that it even admits in a comment that there is no clear way to se...

Re: ntptime not included with PyBoard firmware
Ah. gmtime() is a fairly recent addition. My PyBoard D came with 1.12. Updating the firmware has gotten it all to work. Now I need to figure out how to do timezone offsets.

Re: ntptime not included with PyBoard firmware
Why do I need an external RTC to set the time on the PyBoard? Why not use NTP the way it was always intended to be used? I was just curious why it isn't built into the PyBoard's MicroPython. I've already copied over the version from the ESP8266 subdirectory and it mostly works -- with the exception ...

ntptime not included with PyBoard firmware
I see mention of an ntptime module in the ESP8266 MicroPython docs, but it doesn't appear to be included with MicroPython on the PyBoard D firmware. Importing it fails. How are other people synchronizing the RTCs of their PyBoard Ds (which have built-in wifi) or PyBoard 1.1s (perhaps with a wifi shi...
