### Requirements
* [MicroPython](https://micropython.org/download/) - MicroPython downloads
* [mpremote](https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/reference/mpremote.html) - MicroPython remote serial tool
* (Linux users) Your user should be a part of the `dialout` group
### Steps
1. Flash your Raspberry Pi Pico with MicroPython.
2. Copy `config.example.py` to `config.py` and edit the settings to match your environment.
3. Copy `main.py` and `config.py` to the root of the filesystem on the Pico.
4. Connect the SSD1306 display to your Pico and power on.
1. Connect your SSD1306 display to your Pico.
2. Connect your Pico to your PC via a micro-USB to USB type-A cable.
3. [Flash your Raspberry Pi Pico with MicroPython](https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/rp2/tutorial/reset.html).
a. This has been tested with MicroPython 1.29, but other versions should work.
4. Clone this git repository: `git clone https://git.metaunix.net/BitGoblin/pico-time`.
5. `cd` into the repo: `cd pico-time`.
6. Copy `config.example.py` to `config.py` and edit the settings to match your environment.
7. Copy the Python code over to the Pico:
a. `mpremote cp main.py :main.py`
b. `mpremote cp config.py :config.py`
8. Reset the Pico: `mpremote reset`
If it worked you should see the display show a message about connecting to WiFi, then syncing time and finally displaying the local time. If it failed, you can monitor the app via `mpremote repl` or using an IDE like [Thonny](https://thonny.org/).
