Hi,
Since coding using VIM, rshell it to pyboard to debug it quite tiring, I'm looking for IDE for linux.

It won't cause problems with official uasyncio as it does not use the RTC as its timebase. But if your own code checks for a time of (say) 3.10.00 to trigger an event, you could have a problem. Say the RTC time was 3.09.55 and an update caused it to be corrected to 3.10.05 the time of 3.10.00 would...

You should be able to install it using upip as described. What happens when you try? Alternatively just copy datetime.py from micropython-lib to the ESP32: this should work as it's a simple library comprising just that one file. I have a clone of micropython-lib on my local hardware for such purpos...

I can see no particular resource problem with periodically running ntptime.settime() There is probably no alternative as NTP is likely to be your only source of an accurate reference. However you do have to be careful about updating a clock which is being used to schedule events. This is because yo...

Hi,
I'm interested in installing additional module from https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib
but- I guess I don't understand explanation at the bottom of the page.

im looking for - `datetime` replacement

Hi,

My device, based on ESP32 with Micropython, needs a RTC to run scheduled tasks.
Using RTC is updating, but I wish to update it every several time. Since it is not Linux, or Python - I wish to do so with minimum resources.
what is best for that ?

Guy

Worked OK

There is primitive NTP support in the ESP32 port (borrowed from the ESP8266 port). In short: import ntptime ntptime.settime() # Synchronise the system time using NTP Caveat: There is no timezone support so the system time will be set to UTC. Does ntptime module supported in Micropython or is it app...

Hi,
I need that ESP32 device be able to get published messages ( perhaps calling it - close socket is not the exact term ).
Write code as suggested will do so?

Not one that I know of
