Working out hours and minutes from a word variable

[Tabsoft]

Scampy,

Use the regular Division "/" operator for the Hours computation and use the Modulo "//" operator for the minutes computation.

lightsetHR1 = (CH1_on_time / 60)
lightsetMN1 = (CH1_on_time // 60)




Cheers,

Hi
My mistake
the line lightsetHR1=lightsetHR1/60 ' you get the integer part your example =14
should be lightsetHR1=CH1_on_time/60 ' you get the integer part your example =14
then it produces the same results with the more elegant way that Tabsoft suggests.
But I think that we should have used another new variable instead of CH1_on_time lets say Time_read_from_timer
Then either way once you get the time from DS1307 you can split it into hours and minutes and then go on displaying it.
