Displaying time in standard format

Post by miwise »

Is there a way to command LCD Smartie to display the time in standard am/pm format? Here's the script I'm using now:
$Time(mmmm dd hh:nn)

I asked about this very thing years ago. I now use:

Line 1: $Time(mm:dd:yy)

Line 2: $Time(h:nn:ss ampm)

Line one is the date and line 2 is the time. I have a 2 line VFD.

Hope that helps.

True that! Especially when the information isn't organized in a way to make it very easily accessed. I'm learning though. Thanks again!!
