How do I change the time?

Post by AnthonyK »

I have the standard RA. I'm wondering how do you all go about setting the correct time on the unit? Right now it is reading exactly 2 hours behind what it really is (ex 6:55pm instead of 8:55pm).

That sounds logical...except I don't have anything that says "start up" on my menu?

I think it's Setup.

You can also do it from the Portal under the Date and Time menu.
It will set it to the same time as the computer you are doing it from.

The RA+ includes the menu option automatically because it has enough memory.
The standard RA has limited memory, so it is optional.
If you would like to add the menu option, please add this the setup() section of your code:

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.AddDateTimeMenu();
Otherwise, you can use the android app, java status app or Portal to sync time and not have to bother with the code above. The new Win8 app may be able to do that too, but since I don't have a Win8 phone and have not played with the app yet, I can't guarantee.
