Some time ago I built a LED clock. It works well, but the blue LED on the ESP8266 blinks continuously and a AM radio near it makes a toc-toc-toc sound with a 1 second period.

I read that NTP servers could ban an IP if a device reads the time more often than one time every 64 seconds or something similar. The NTP time reading should be every 10 minutes. I tried

Code: Select allsetSyncInterval (600);

but I didn't notice any difference.

I used the time.h library, but some days ago I wasn't able to find it between installed ones in library manager, despite being the program compiled and loaded without any problem, so I installed TimeLib.h (I don't know if it is a new version of time.h), but it works the same...

Does anyone know exactly what should I do?

Thanks for your help
Gianluca
