Clock not showing time

[Thunfeld]

So, I've been trying for a couple of days to get the clock to work with some success, but apart from the main part, which is displaying the time, I'm having issues.

I have configured the clock in Dutch, and everything went well on that part. The Wi-Fi is connecting, the painting tool is working well (pixels line up), but the time is stuck displaying:

"HET IS TIEN"

Sometimes it changes to:

"HET IS TWAALF UUR"

but it’s not 12 o'clock anyway.

I have a feeling this might have something to do with the NTP server, which I have changed a couple of times without any luck. I even forwarded port (NTP) 123 to the IP address of the word clock, also with no success.

I am not using an RTC module. Could this be the issue?
So, hardware-wise, I only have an ESP-32 Dev module, nothing else.
I have accounted for this in Platform.io:

[env:esp32dev]
board = esp32dev

What am I missing here?
Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

Best regards,
Hunfeld

So i fixed it myself. It turns out i do need a RTC module ;)

I started working on a branch that worked without. But never finished the rest of it.

@DaveDavenport we should merge it back

[DaveDavenport]

@t0mg Can you assign this issue to me?

[t0mg]

Gladly 😅

[DaveDavenport]

@t0mg can you reopen this one?

[Thunfeld]

@t0mg can you reopen this one?
Oh im sorry did not know you wanted to work on it still.

[DaveDavenport]

Yeah, its my intention to merge back the code I've added to run without external RTC and just use NTP and internal rtc.
