TIME

Back

I need the clock to show 17:00 on the screen. I want the time to start at 16:59:00 and stop at 17:00:00 on the screen.

Hi anzaaximm,

If you want a hardcoded solution that counts from a fixed start value to a fixed end value and then stops, recreate the following flow graph in the Flow Editor:
$TIME$

Replace the Out signal of the default_video_2 module with the video signal you want to use as the background for the time image.

Set the Text pin values on the Text to Time modules to 16:59:00 and 17:00:00, respectively.
TIME

TIME

All other pin values can remain at their defaults.

The timer will start when you trigger the Play pin of the Timer module.
TIME

If you need a dynamic solution that uses the current time, the setup is slightly more complex: TIME

This version reads the system time and compares it with the values set in the Text to Time modules. The time will only be displayed when the current time is between 16:59:00 and 17:00:00.

Warmest regards,
Adam

This is all great! Now I need to have buttons on the ControlBoard for different hours, for example, 4:59 PM - 5:00 PM, 5:59 PM - 6:00 PM, and a few more. How can I make switches?
