Before you do this, make sure you have CP 1.14a or newer, otherwise you destroy the possibility to connect to your system.

Since we move the time an hour from winter to summer, you might want to change it by yourself.
To achieve that, you need a working cable connection to the internet.

1. Set the PVJ under System Settings to DHCP.
2. Plugin the RJ45 internet cable and reboot.
3. Connect to your PVJ via Wifi, in the adressbar add :4200 e.g: 2.0.0.100:4200
4. You get a security error, on button of the page, click proceed to
5. Login with: pi
   pass: pocketusr
6. type: date and hit enter
7. type: sudohwclock -rand hit enter
8. if the time output differs from date, you can write the time given from the date command to the PocketVJ with following command: sudo hwclock -w
9. check again the time as described on step 7.
10. type exit
11. remove the :4200 from your adressbar to access the ControlPanel
12. under System Settings set it back to Static
13. Reboot, your new time is set.
14. Smile and have some fun.....

Set time manually (no internet or dhcp needed):

1: Connect to your PocketVJ as usual, but behind the address type :4200
(for example 192.168.2.100:4200 or 2.0.0.100:4200)

2: You will get a security error in your browser, on button of the page, click proceed to
3: Login with: pi pass: pocketusr
4: Now you can type time manually like this: sudo date --set="2017-11-16 13:19:59.990"
5: Hit enter, new time is set.
6: sudo hwclock -w to write it to the clock.
7: To check if it worked, type: date and hit enter.
8: It should now display you the right time.

its done.

Hi, I'm trying with this instructions, but I receive this message:

hwclock: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.
hwclock: Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method.

Any idea?

Thanks

Are you having a PocketVJ RTC ?
If not, do you have a RTC installed ?

Update:
With CP 2.5.1 or newer you can go to the Scheduler/Timer tab and click:

Set Date/Time from user

This will set the time from your computer directly to the PocketVJ's RTC.
You need to reboot to see the change.
