badger2040w clock example time zone offset?

Doesn't include anything for a time zone offset, manually putting in an hour adjustment will not work. Can you update with the code from the non-wireless version to adjust the time to local?

This code has been deprecated and Badger moved over to https://github.com/pimoroni/badger2040

However, your issue is still valid. It looks like the canonical way to apply a timezone offset in this case would be to get the correct time in the first place from the ntp server, since ntptime.settime() accepts an offset value: https://mpython.readthedocs.io/en/master/library/micropython/ntptime.html

So you can just change the line ntptime.settime() to ntptime.settime(timezone=HOURS) where HOURS is your desired offset (the default is 8), and replug the battery (give it a few seconds to discharge) so it syncs the time again.

I've made some changes to clock in the new repo, including bringing back the time set functionality (which persists on a Badger W even if Thonny tries to reset the time) and surfacing a TIME_OFFSET value which I might have to do more with at some point. (Maybe making it part of WIFI_CONFIG)

I tried that but getting the following error: import time import machine import ntptime import badger2040 display = badger2040.Badger2040() display.set_update_speed(2) display.set_thickness(4) WIDTH, HEIGHT = display.get_bounds() try: display.connect() if display.isconnected(): ntptime.settime(timezone=-4) except (RuntimeError, OSError): pass # no WiFI rtc = machine.RTC() display.set_font("sans") ———

Oh good grief. What on earth are these docs I’ve linked to? Sorry, you’re right; I’m barking up the wrong tree here.

Nonetheless the next release of Badger 2040 should help by giving you the manual time setting back. Bear with me! And watch this space: https://github.com/pimoroni/badger2040
