I don’t understand why it needs to neurotically check so frequently? 30 times a second seems like a lot of hammering on the NTP server. Am I missing something here? Some physical reason why that is necessary perhaps?
- bArray 9mo ago> The ESP8266 reconnects to the NTP server every 15 minutes which keeps the clock accurate. It doesn't seem to be hammering the NTP server 30 times a second.
- VladVladikoff 9mo agoAh ok, I guess I misunderstood this part: >Ten times each second the ESP8266 compares the time displayed on the analog clock to the actual time retrieved from an NTP server. Not sure where I got 30 from. Dyslexia between reading and commenting.
- bArray 9mo agoNo worries. You would be right to be concerned about an NTP server being polled so regularly.
