« on: November 02, 2011, 06:09:12 pm »
Is there a clock or any lua codes to make one? And is there customizable home screens? Thanks!

Not for now since there is no real way without using ndless to access the RTC (clock)...

You can however program a [relative] clock using timer.getMilliSecCounter() and asking the user for a starting time...


And no, no customizable homescreen for now (maybe with Ndless3, we'll see..)

timer.getMilliSecCounter() returns the seconds since last boot, so you just need to store the begin time in a var and it will always be correct.

But setting up the clock after each reboot would be a pain for the user.
