Hi johnmccombs,
I am pleased that your coding is helping, and I'm using it for my project, I am using your Time library for my Arduino POV clock but there's a problem I'm facing in the DataStrings.cpp, as I am still learning in Arduino and I'd like to know what I've done wrong, and if there's any suggestion to solve it. And here's the compilation error I'm getting, i pasted here part of it, but it continues the same pattern of error:

Hi,

please note that I’m not the author of any of the code in the libraries repo. The libraries may be well out of date and you should obtain the library from the original source.

regards, John

Hello,
Sorry to bother you, but do you know where I possibly get contact with the author of the library or know where the original source came from,
And Thanks,

[johnmccombs]

It's probably this https://github.com/michaelmargolis/arduino_time

Cheers, John
