utime.localtime() timestamp MicroPython












0















I'm trying to get the current timestamp on my Feather Huzzah 32 running micro python. I have read some of the documentation on utime which should be able to get the current timestamp, but I can't seem to figure it out.



https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/utime.html



When I do utime.localtime() it returns (2000,1,1,0,min,secs,5,1). I'm trying to get the current time, how would I do this?



(Standard python libraries like datetime are not supported)

  • Have you initialised the RTC? Also see utime's known issues on the ESP8266 port.

not only do you need to initialise the RTC yo need to set it. On pyboard I use a tuple of the form (Y,M,D,0,h,m,s,0).
The micropython epoch begins at 1/1/2000 so your displaying the correct current time 5 milli seconds after reset
