/* Time Check Gets the time from Linux via Bridge then parses out hours, minutes and seconds for the Arduino using an Arduino Yún. created 27 May 2013 modified 21 June 2013 By Tom Igoe This example code is in the public domain. http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/TimeCheck */ #include Process date; // process used to get the date int hours, minutes, seconds; // for the results int lastSecond = -1; // need an impossible value for comparison void setup() { Bridge.begin(); // initialize Bridge Serial.begin(9600); // initialize serial while (!Serial); // wait for Serial Monitor to open Serial.println("Time Check"); // Title of sketch // run an initial date process.
