Clock source applet
18 October, 2011 - 13:31
This applet emits a targetless clock schema payload that can be picked up by other xAP devices to display the current date/time.
It's very simplisitic and demonstrates some of the formatting capabilities of the LUA os.date function and the xap.Timer
See the LUA references page for more os.date formatting options http://www.lua.org/pil/22.1.html
The output not quite what you want?..... go ahead and hack away!
Sample output:
xap-header
{
uid=FF00D800
source=dbzoo.livebox.Plugboard
hop=1
class=clock.report
v=12
}
date
{
utc=14:25:09
}

Thanks for this.
Haven't been abe to try this yet but I think it will be very useful
A minor correction in the attached file so that date and time appear in the correct subsection
cheers
