[SOLVED] Trying to combine large font and time with no RTC

As the title states, I'm trying to combine the large numbers font made by Hifiduino (H I F I D U I N O C O D E | Arduino code for HIFIDUINO) and the crossroads clock that gets time set by buttons and does not rely on a RTC module. I am a complete noob when it comes to this, but I have read as much as I can figure out and have hit a wall. Anyone that could figure out what I'm doing wrong would have my gratitude.

The first thing that I noticed is this code:

int milliDivMins = 60000;
int milliDivHrs = 360000;

An int cannot hold 60000 or 360000 on an Arduino.

Perhaps you intended long instead of int ?

Thanks, still learning to code, using this as my way of learning. I keep getting an error of "LCD_Large_char_scroll:49: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '(' token
pinMode(backlight, OUTPUT);^" errors, as well as "53: error: 'lcd' does not name a type" quite a bit. Is there a resource that I could look to to learn what I'm doing wrong?

I don't see that errored text anywhere in the code you shared. Where ia this LCD-Large thing? Is that the actual code that got those errors?

cannot resolve overloaded function 'isAM' based on conversion to type 'bool'

Looking at the Time library you are using, isAM and isPM are both functions that return an unsigned 8 bit int.

uint8_t isAM() { // returns true if time now is AM
  return !isPM(now()); 
}

uint8_t isAM(time_t t) { // returns true if given time is AM
  return !isPM(t);  
}

uint8_t isPM() { // returns true if PM
  return isPM(now()); 
}

uint8_t isPM(time_t t) { // returns true if PM
  return (hour(t) >= 12); 
}

You were using isAM and isPM as variables. You can not overwrite a function as a variable...

I have done this...it compiles without errors. Replaced your use of isAM and isPM with the functions isAM() and isPM().
