Re: Connecting the tvosd to the network

[Frank Mc Alinden]

Hi John

> And that's it... your VFD will now show the time every 15 minutes.

Works a treat ;-))...I have it updating every ten minutes.....Is it
possible
to sync it at 10 ..20..30...40...currently ...11...21... 31 etc......

Now just need to work out how to do trigger the TIME UPDATE manually...

Thanks
Frank
