Hi looking for advice really
Im trying to start the Pi at say 3pm and every 30mins wake up and do its thing and then shutdown
I have the sleepy pi 2 starting every 30mins fine but not on or close to the 30min mark ie 3pm ......3.30pm.....4pm
All I can seem to do is start every 30min and that depends on the compilatiion time itself
Can anybody help please this is what I get in the serial monitor and in this example it would wake up and start again at 15:23 say
Starting, but I'm going to go to sleep for a while... Ok, Time = 14:53:40, Date (D/M/Y) = 24/8/2017 Alarm Set for every: 30 minutes
The code im using is:
Can anybody see anything wrong......im oonly posting bits Ive changed (which is very littlee anyway) ------ so close to getting this working
//Simple example showing how to set the RTC alarm pin to periodically wake up the Arduino
// which in turn wakes up the Rpi. You can use this to do things with the Rpi
// at regular intervals i.e. like taking a photograph.
//
// Note, in this example the Rpi is woken up for every 5 minutes (you can change that).
// Once woken it is then shutdown after 1 minute (you can change that) unless the user
// hasn't already shut the Rpi down. The system then goes into low power mode until
// the next scheduled time interval to wakeup.
//
// This example shows an alternative method than the Timer to do periodic wakeups.
//
// To test on the RPi without power cycling and using the Arduino IDE
// to view the debug messages, comment out these line (with a //):

// SleepyPi.enablePiPower(true);
// SleepyPi.piShutdown();
// SleepyPi.enableExtPower(false);
