The letters actually don't matter - they're more there for human readability. It's only the number that matters. For example: MST+7 -- This says you're 7 hours west of UTC and you don't observe DST MST7 -- This is the same ABC7 -- This is also the same XYZ7 -- Same... ARIZONA7 -- Same! MST-7 -- You're 7 hours east of UTC, probably somewhere in Russia or Vietnam MST+7MDT -- This says you're 7 hours west of UTC and that you change your time by 1 hour during DST MST7MDT -- This is the same MST7MST -- This is also the same MST7ABC -- Same! ARIZONA7WILDCATS -- SAME! The reality is that time zones, and, more importantly when DST time starts and ends for your particular region, are not only complicated, but they change from year to year and region to region. So there's no reliable way to compute them without a database or rule set that describes them, and that database needs to be updated as things change. "Full size" operating systems will have a database like this from which you can pick a location (e.g. "USA/Phoenix") and the TZ and DST rules for that particular location have been helpfully provided by someone. They'll be out of date (ha!) sooner or later, so unless updates are provided somehow, you'll find the operating system will not switch to DST time on the correct dates. Notice in the examples above we didn't specify when DST starts or stops. There are built-in defaults: if you specify any letters after that number, then you observe daylight savings that changes the time by one hour starting on the first Sunday in April at 2:00AM and ends on the last Sunday in October at 2:00AM. (The specific defaults chosen can change from one operating system to another.) If those defaults don't work for you and you want to provide the correct details, you can do so like this: MST+7MDT+6,M5.1.0/01:30,M9.1.0/1:30 That says you're 7 hours west of UTC during standard time, and you're 6 hours west of UTC during daylight savings. Daylight savings starts on the first Sunday of May at 1:30AM and ends on the first Sunday of September at 1:30AM. The "MST" and "MDT" there are just to give humans something to read. Anyway - I thought that was an interesting diversion... We'll put a drop-down list in the web interface to make it easy to pick something for most people, and you'll be able to override it manually if those options don't meet your needs.

Mathy Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hello guys DST in Central Europe is always from the last Sunday of March (02:00 AM) until the last Sunday of October (03:00 AM (first time the clock turns 03:00 AM)).

StickJock Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The US changed the DST dates several years ago to start earlier and end later. It screwed up devices that had the DST "smarts" built in that used the historical dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tschak909 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 given that we should show the type of files in the disk image window, and that we have a limited amount of available text space (40 columns), I'm thinking that there needs to be custom 16 pixel wide glyphs (two character cells together) to show each disk type, SD, DD, etc. Am wondering if maybe a graphical form could be done that makes sense for all the different disk types? I had initially done a set of glyphs like this: but they smudge like crazy on composite displays. Anybody have any ideas? -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckybuck Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Your 1st try fits best, so I think. We have MD and ED meaning the same in your case: 140K. To avoid double meaning, the actual number does the job best. Key, to my mind is, to get the needed info in a blink of an eye. If we change to symbol language, like in the cult movie Idiocrazy, we risk to be 500 years ahead of our time... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DjayBee Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Why don't you just use letters and digits? S, E, D, 3, 7, H A second letter would render the display unreadable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can adjust the partition sizes for the 4MB WROOM boards by editing 'fujinet_partitions_4MB.csv' in the platformio directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expanded the spiffs partition (new offset: 0x250000 new size: 0x1B0000) by shrinking the app0 previous partition (size from 0x340000 to 0x240000) Now I was able to print to emulated Epson printer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
