Clock or timer on the prop1

[youngti]

Is it possible to write code that acts as a clock on the prop1? 

thinking about setting up Christmas lights with the RC-4 and vixen.  Thinking on how I keep the lights on, until the show runs.  Usually I have timers (the manual kind) that turn on the lights at 5 or 6pm, then turn them off at 11pm.

If I setup a show that runs at, say 8pm to 10pm.  Then i would want to have the lights on while there is not a show.

The equipment I have is
Prop1 ( have a couple of these)
Prop2
RC-4 (have 4 of these)

Would it work on a Prop 2 or should i think about the PropSx?

Okay so here is the sequence;

-Lights on at 5pm
-Lights off at 7:55pm
-Show starts at 8pm
-Show runs
-show ends at 10pm, lights off
-Lights on at 10:05 pm
-lights off at 11pm.

I'm a little confused. I'm assuming (you know what that does) that the "lights on" and "lights off" have to do with a porch light or something else that interferes with the the show.  In the end, only the Prop-SX has the capability to synthesize and accurate RTC, and even with that we have a customer using the Prop-SX in a security application that is adding an RTC chip.

Now, if you're wanting to have your Christmas lights on [static] prior to and after the show just do that with Vixen.  The Timers function allows you to schedule sequences to run at a specific time.  You could create an "all on" sequence, your animations sequence(s), then an "all off" sequence and link them together as specific times using the Timer screen.

Sorry i didn't mean to confuse you.  I meant the Christmas lights.

Regardless, all I can say is Ohhhhhhhhhhh, use vixen.   Still not up on all of the Vixen features.  thank you again for leading me out of the dark.
