Timer countdown and countup synchronized with the server
Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2016 1:36 pmHello
I want to display on the LCD timer that counts down to zero and then counts up from zero. Timer to be synchronized with the server in the local network via wifi. I want to synchronize every 2-3 seconds. Please help. My code:
This code works, but there are delays and the timer is not displayed smoothly.
