RTC Issue?

 

During install, the script asked if my system time was 9:55 am, but the actual time on my clock was 10:55 am (which was the correct time). I selected "no" and then it asked me to set my system time or connect to the internet, and then closed.

On the git hub page it says, "Software for DS3231 real time clock (Available through update script after initial install)." Does that mean I need to finish the install and then go back and install RTC?

Pete,
Do you have the DS3231 chip installed on your Pi? It is not a normal part of the Pi.?
If you have it, the software should recognize it and make the proper install.

Aaaahh...ok, no I do not. I thought it was just a software clock. No worries, then. Thanks.

Somewhere in one of Jason¡¯s videos he describes the adding of the RTC (real time clock). Without a RTC,
If the Pi is on a network, it will pick up the time. In another video he describes how to connect the
Pi to your phone, if you are away from a network and get GPS and time from the phone. I am not sure how to search for it, but you might try a YouTube search for KM4ACK and phone. I am sure, when Jason reads this later today, he can give a better pointer.

(Sounds like you are having fun with the Pi and learning like the rest of us!!)

Thanks Les. Yeah, it has been fun.

I've watched so many of Jason's videos, it's hard to remember all the details. I do recall the one about how to connect the Pi to a phone, and I think the app is called GPS2IP which I do have installed on my phone.
 

Run this in a terminal window:
timedatectl
And ensure your reported "Time Zone" is correct
 
Edited

Yes, my timezone is correct.
 

Here's the video for connecting your phone's GPS to the Pi -
