Python interface scripts for the light sensors and calibration tube.

Reads the system time and set's the sensor's time. This will allow the sensor's time to match the system time within one second.

Script Name: settime.py Argument(s):

• -p: serial port where the sensor is connected, e.g. /dev/ttyACM0 Example Usage:

bhimebau@mercury:~/forge/outdoor-monitor/lm_script$ ./settime.py -p /dev/ttyACM0
Sensor's Old Date/Time: 05/15/2020 08:53:50
Sensor's New Date/Time: 05/15/2020 08:53:50
bhimebau@mercury:~/forge/outdoor-monitor/lm_script$

Reads the sensor's current time and them compares it to the system time. This should match within one second when checked close to setting the time. This utility is intended to be used to check the time when a significant drift is expected.

Script Name: gettime.py Argument(s):

• -p: serial port where the sensor is connected, e.g. /dev/ttyACM0 Example Usage:

bhimebau@mercury:~/forge/outdoor-monitor/lm_script$ ./gettime.py -p /dev/ttyACM0
Sensor's Current Date/Time: 05/15/2020 08:53:00
Time Delta (Sensor Time-System Time): 0 seconds
