Well, let me fix that code completely for you:Simple :P/>/>local time = os.time() print(time)
mon = perpheral.wrap("IAmAStringYouShallReplaceWithTheMonitorSide")
while true do
local time = os.time()
mon.write(time)
end
EDIT: I just saw what Xfel wrote, and i realized it's mon.write(time)

only that you can't call print on a moditor peripheral?

Thanks, but is there a way so that it constantly updates?

however, you should add a sleep(1) to your loop as it will be aborted if it doesn't sleep for some time.

Xfel, you only need sleep(0.1), makes it update more frequently.however, you should add a sleep(1) to your loop as it will be aborted if it doesn't sleep for some time.

Hmm.. Every second, millisecond, minute, hour, etc.Yes, but… how frequently does the time change?

But do you need to know that information? Technically it changes every 0.05 seconds, but do you need to the time down to 0.05 real life seconds?

don't forget mon.clear() mon.setCursorPos(1,1) or you will end up with a messy display. your clock only needs to update every second, would you really need a split second display on a clock?

local side = "top" -- change this
if peripheral.getType(side) ~= "monitor" then
print("No monitor on that side")
return -- Neatly exits the program
else
local monitor = peripheral.wrap(side)
term.redirect(monitor)
end
Print(("The Current Time is: ") textutils.formatTime(os.time(),true)))
end

If you want real time. timeapi.org.
Simply do http.get(). I don't really mess around with http in CC but you could probably figure it out :P/>/>
