[How to do instruction] LCD/OLED display using pydPiper

[superpat]

Hi,

Just tried  PydPiper,  Works fine apart from time display when idle.

Time shown is apparently USA time,  (Seven hours  earlier than it should be for me in the UK)

The only entry I can use that is not rejected to the timezone query in the config file, is "GB".  But Pydpiper sticks to USA timezone.

1. Please could someone tell me what is the literal correct response to the timezone query for UK resident?

 The example shows 

Code:

timezone = US/Eastern (change this according to your location)

But I find this format  is rejected when running the program.

When I first ran the configuration program, the timezone defaulted to GB. Leaving this allows to program to work, albeit with a 7 hour error in the timezone.  GB is the UTC  code for the UK.

I see other people have had problems with the time zone, and I gather the newest versions of Pydpiper were supposed to correct timezone problems.

Any help gratefully received,

P

Edit just seen new reply a minute before mine. I had not realized till now that there is a large font time display. All I ever see is a small time display at the top right hand of my 126x64 sed oled display

Regarding time zone you put Europe/London

Hi, I have tried Europe/London. When I run the program  it error, saying it does not recognise  Europe/London as a valid UTC format, although it accepts GB !  Although GB gives the wrong timezone.
