Hi,
Would it be possible to add a way to set the sntp server in the time function? I have a 24/7 server here that i use to sync all my other computer and i would like to be able to connect to it.
Thank you

How's that?
In the Eval.ino file
Left pool.ntp.org hardcoded as backup
Code: Select allelse if ( fname == F("timesetup") && num_args > 0 ) {
String bla;
SaveDataToFile("TimeZone", String(args[0]));
SaveDataToFile("DaylightSavings", String(args[1]));
SaveDataToFile("TimeServer", String(args[2]));
configTime(LoadDataFromFile("TimeZone").toFloat() * 3600, LoadDataFromFile("DaylightSavings").toInt(), LoadDataFromFile("TimeServer"), "pool.ntp.org");
*value_str = "";
return PARSER_STRING;
}

This looks good but does not seem to be implemented in git master head. Are you planning t apply this and update documentation? Also, whilst updating docs, it would be advantageous to explain that the time is automatically set by SNTP - I searched for how to set time for a while then was perplexed when it was magically correct! (Also, a way to set time manually would be good for occasions that the device is not connected to the Internet.) Cheers
