gmtime

[retep.relleum]

I tried to set the time on my ESP32 with the version "MicroPython v1.13 on 2020-09-02; ESP32 module (spiram) with ESP32" with ntptime. This doesn't work. This leads to an OSError 202 when using the ntptime module.
After a long search, I found that utime.gmtime() is not available. Why ?

https://github.com/micropython/micropyt ... ntptime.pyevidently gets you gmtime() on a ESP8266. Hopefully, it works for the ESP32 as I want to use it as well.

no it work not

Code: Select all

>>> import utime

>>> utime.gmtime()

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'gmtime'
>>> utime.localtime()

(2000, 1, 1, 2, 0, 44, 5, 1)
>>> 

esp32 use instead of utime.gmtime ()
the function utime.localtime ()

But thank you anyway for your good modules

What I am going to try is:
- place that version of ntptime.py on the ESP32
- write a small test program which imports ntptime

My understanding is that that will only get you UTC so you need to make your own correction for your timezone.

I have only started using Micropython on the ESP32 so maybe I have got this all wrong.

I think on the ESP32 you need to replace gmtime with localtime. @davef is correct, these names reference a function which returns UTC. MicroPython has no timezone support.

retep.rellleum,

Found this viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3675&start=10, especially the post by kwtf and after modifying it for NZ time seems to work fine.
