Instantiates the NTP client.
NTPResult setTime (const Host &host)
Gets current time (blocking)
NTPResult setTime (const Host &host, void(*pMethod)( NTPResult ))
Gets current time (non-blocking)
template<class T >
NTPResult setTime (const Host &host, T *pItem, void(T::*pMethod)( NTPResult ))
Gets current time (non-blocking)
void doSetTime (const Host &host)
Gets current time (non-blocking)
void setOnResult (void(*pMethod)( NTPResult ))
Setups the result callback.
void close ()
This flags the service as to be destructed if owned by the pool.

Examples

This example updates the RTC.

#include "mbed.h"
#include "EthernetNetIf.h"
#include "NTPClient.h"

EthernetNetIf eth; 
NTPClient ntp;
  
int main() {

  printf("Start\n");

  printf("Setting up...\n");
  EthernetErr ethErr = eth.setup();
  if(ethErr)
  {
    printf("Error %d in setup.\n", ethErr);
    return -1;
  }
  printf("Setup OK\r\n");
  
  time_t ctTime;
  ctTime = time(NULL);  
  printf("Current time is (UTC): %s\n", ctime(&ctTime));  

  Host server(IpAddr(), 123, "0.uk.pool.ntp.org");
  ntp.setTime(server);
    
  ctTime = time(NULL);  
  printf("\nTime is now (UTC): %s\n", ctime(&ctTime)); 
  
  while(1)
  {
  
  }
  
  return 0;
  
}
