It is important that you have HTTP enabled to use this, as there is not built in API for getting system time. Use the Pastebin command, if it doesn't work, this will not work on your monitor.

You will need to manually edit the peripheral to your setup.

Inform me if I have missed a timezone, and I will add it as soon as possible! Enjoy!

Eastern Standard Time:

term.restore()
