Network Time Protocol (NTP) helper for CircuitPython.
This driver depends on:
Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>_Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>_.
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-ntp/>_. To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ntp
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ntp
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ntp
.. code-block:: python
import adafruit_connection_manager
import adafruit_ntp
import os
import time
import wifi
wifi_ssid = os.getenv("CIRCUITPY_WIFI_SSID")
wifi_password = os.getenv("CIRCUITPY_WIFI_PASSWORD")
wifi.radio.connect(wifi_ssid, wifi_password)
pool = adafruit_connection_manager.get_radio_socketpool(wifi.radio)
ntp = adafruit_ntp.NTP(pool, tz_offset=0, cache_seconds=3600)
while True:
print(ntp.datetime)
time.sleep(1)
