Setting Time?

[Bobbinz]

Is there a way of setting the time via the web page?? and not using the set-up wizard?

Yep. Look at the Picaxe Net Server documentation on page 20. The shared memory allocation table says address 00 gives seconds, 01 gives minutes etc. It also suggests that this is read only, but that's not true. These addresses are just the Real Time Clock's registers and can be read and written in the same way as the general purpose registers.

What you should remember is that these are in Binary Coded Decimal format, so Hex 45 means 45 sec/min not 4*16+5.

[Having said that, I can't check the truth of it! I know for sure the PicAxe can write these locations and I'm 99% sure the web page can, but I cant get at my gear to test it our right now. I suggest you just give it a try.]
