I just set up my first 32 x 8 matrix display and im using the scrolling text feature in the WLED app. Works great but the only problem is the time of day is not correct. I dont see anyway to set the correct time. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you!!!
Hi.
Go into config of wled
Scroll down to Time and Macros
The first option at the top
(Get time from NTP server: )
Make sure thats it checked…
Set you preferred format 12/24
Set you time zone…
Click save and it should be correct time and date.
Also.
Try this.
Choose scrolling text…
Change segment name to
#HHMM OR #HHMM0 to format with a 0
#DATE or #DATE0 to add leading 0.
Youll see what it does if you try it.
Also if you font size makes your time scroll reduce font size.
Basicly if segment size is bigger than font size it wont scroll. So if you matrix size is wide enough it will be static with the option to scroll if not it will scroll.
As long you device is connected to the internet on first power on of your device it will sync time with clock severs and show correct time.
Hope that helps.
