Code posted. There is only 5 or 6 lines relating to the display. Having just looked at it again there im guessing one of you is going to tell me its because of where i have put the code in the void loop section relating to the display. Lets see if my hunch is correct... Im aware the code is quite messy and ec2021 has already provided a neater version. Which i will get to ... i'm still trying to get finished with wiring everything. As i go i'm making sure each component is working by itself then eventually i will get around to tying everything in together, house lights, sunlights, clock, display to create the ultimate goal of the day night cycle..tigger you are correct, this is. marathin, not a sprint..
