Network Time Protocol (NTP) helper for CircuitPython.


Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.

Installing from PyPI
=====================
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-ntp/>`_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ntp

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ntp

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

    mkdir project-name && cd project-name
    python3 -m venv .venv
    source .venv/bin/activate
    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ntp

Usage Example
=============

.. code-block:: python

    import adafruit_connection_manager
    import adafruit_ntp
    import os
    import time
    import wifi

    wifi_ssid = os.getenv("CIRCUITPY_WIFI_SSID")
    wifi_password = os.getenv("CIRCUITPY_WIFI_PASSWORD")
    wifi.radio.connect(wifi_ssid, wifi_password)

    pool = adafruit_connection_manager.get_radio_socketpool(wifi.radio)
    ntp = adafruit_ntp.NTP(pool, tz_offset=0, cache_seconds=3600)

    while True:
        print(ntp.datetime)
        time.sleep(1)
