My computer's timezone is set correctly, but the Pico seems to be set to GMT no matter what.

Here is the code I am using to find out my local sunrise & sunset -- it relies on a variable containing my timezone offset, which I must keep up-to-date based on DST here...

The trick for me is to just do everything as GMT and then only change for the display

// myWhere and TZ offset
var myLatitude = 41.0;
var myLongitude = -72.0;
var myTZDeltaMins = -300;
var gmtDateNow = Date.now();

var suncalc = require("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mourner/suncalc/master/suncalc.js");

function dateLocalTZ( gmtDate, tzMins ) {
  return new Date(gmtDate.getTime() + (tzMins*60000));
}

function dateStrMinusTZ ( anyDate ) {
  return anyDate.toString().replace(' GMT+0000','');
}

var gmtTimes = suncalc.getTimes( gmtDateNow, myLatitude, myLongitude );
var mySunrise = dateLocalTZ(gmtTimes.sunrise,myTZDeltaMins);
var mySunset = dateLocalTZ(gmtTimes.sunset,myTZDeltaMins);

console.log('mySunrise',dateStrMinusTZ(mySunrise));
console.log('mySunset',dateStrMinusTZ(mySunset));

if ( (gmtDateNow > gmtTimes.sunrise) && (gmtDateNow < gmtTimes.sunset) ) {
  console.log('it should be light outside');
} else {
    console.log('it should be dark outside');
}

what is the bug # and where can we vote for it?

Nope, that didn't do it... I got it working now, but I don't know what the problem was...

I use a little powered hub to extend my USB ports to a more comfortable location.

This morning I tried removing that hub and using it direct into my USB port -- and it worked.

So I put the hub back in and tried it again in the hub, and it didn't work -- so I tried it in a different slot on the hub and it worked. Then again in slot #3 and it didn't work, then the rest of the slots and it did work. And now it's working in slot #3.

I don't have any polite words I can use, so I'll just say thanks to everyone who tried to help!

sorry, a pico

typing into the lift side: setTimeout(getTime,1024)

nothing happens a second later

I followed the quickstart and the setInterval command doesn't work - the led doesn't flash

I can turn it on and off with toggle() -- but setInterval doesn't call toggle?

getTIme() is incrementing as I call it

I expected setTimeout(getTime,1024) to output the time in a second

it didn't...

my startup says:

what am I doing wrong?

thanks
