Date
The Date
module is responsible for managing system time synchronization and providing reliable time-related functionalities. Leveraging Network Time Protocol (NTP) through the SimpleNTP
utility, the Date
class ensures accurate and consistent timekeeping across devices.
Components
The Date
class provides functionalities to synchronize system time with NTP servers, retrieve the current time, and manage time-related events. It ensures that the system maintains accurate time, which is essential for various operations such as logging, scheduling, and data timestamping.
The SimpleNTP
class manages the communication with NTP servers to obtain accurate epoch times. It handles the construction and parsing of NTP packets, manages retries and timeouts, and integrates with the Date
class through callback mechanisms.
