Inky frame 5.7" real time clock

Support Pimoroni

I note that the Inky frame has one, and the it is useable (from the website:“You can also read the RTC to keep track of the time and date, of course!”) but I can find no information on how this is done! Can anyone direct me to some info on this? Sample codes?

Hi David,

Would it be possible to send through a link or SKU of the Inky that you have to confirm?
(And so Core is able to add some more helpful links to the product page)
I did find this inside of the example code for one of the other modules: pimoroni-pico/inky_frame_rtc_demo.py at main · pimoroni/pimoroni-pico · GitHub

Thanks for the link, Liam - it looks exactly like what I was after. Will work through it… It’s a 5.7"

Best, D

Hi David,

Yeah the Pimoroni Libraries tie a lot of things together.
The line you are after will be
inky_frame.pcf_to_pico_rtc()
But the example will work if you comment out the correct display (Lines 6-8).
