 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

PicoMite V5.09 The manual says However it is returning UTC, do I have to do something to get it to return local time. "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all" |

From my knowledge you need to at minimum add or sutract to become your timezone. Like I'm in Auzzie land, so I need to do UTC +10 to become EST (Eastern Standard Time), however we also have this 'Daylight Savings' time active for us from October to April becoming DEST, the D=Daylight Savings, one hour foward, then removed as it ends. Thus, UTC +11 only during Daylight Savings for States in Australia that use it. Now this DEST is much harder to deal with in programming. I have written my own, but it is not 100% ATM. I work with routers, network switches, alarm, cctv systems etc. You would not believe how many of them do not work properly with DEST zone changes. They have terrible faulty coding that just don't work. So mine looks good so far. Hope this helps...  Regards. |

Unfortunately I not yet used a GPS module. Jim is spot on, as I do actually have a GPS module for a customer who didn't need project built, some while ago and forgot it has these commands available. One day maybe.....? Great you got it going  |
