Displaying Clock and Date in 16x2 display

erhanzeyrek

Hi!

Is there a way to display date and time in same menu on 16x2 lcd? Also don't need to displaying application name on root menu. I want to display date and time in here.

Thanks in advance!

There is no inbuilt date type, you'd just need to use a text field and present it however you wished.

There are two options, you can take over the display when it is idle and present the date and time, see the packaged example showing how to do this. Or you could change the behaviour of the default renderer yourself.

Hi davetcc!

Thank you for answer and creating this awesome library. It is very useful for my hobby projects. Takeover display example is very good point for me.
