Time-based trigger

Post by PalB09 »

Hi Team,

I am using Circuit Playground Bluefruit. I am turning the on-board NeoPixels on using capacitive touch and I need the NeoPixels to turn off at a particular time every day. Is that possible? Can Bluefruit perform time-based operations?

Any suggestion will be very appreciated.

Thank you,
Pallabi

That's a challenge since the CircuiutPlaygrounds don't have an onboard real-time-clock and without WiFi it can't query a time server regularly to sync it's internal timekeeping. You can add either of those things, but you'd loose cap-touch pads in the process. A real time clock would have the least impact as you'd just use 2 pads for it (SDA and SCL).
