Robo-Tank v6.0 is Ready - Now v6.5

[Rob F]

I'm not sure how you liked it, I did it like this but there are a couple methods at least.

The Pi has an interesting method of handling the time, sounds like something I would do. As the Pi doesn't have the RTC it saves the time it thinks it is to a text file every hour or if the Pi is shutdown properly. When the Pi boots up it reads that text file and uses that for the boot up time if no NTP available. Now with the RTC enabled when the Pi boots it'll read the RTC instead of that text file for the starting time if no NTP is available. So only thing that changes is what the Pi fallbacks on if no NTP available. Once the Pi gets time from text or RTC it uses it's own counter to keep it running so I believe it'll only read text or RTC at boot if required and never again while running.

Sorry right now I'm not going to add any extras for the dosing, I really want to get this update out as some things are important. I'll have to revisit dosing again anyways for stirrers. Also right now with the group schedule it's technically not a group, it'll just automate creating all the individual schedules, I think at some point I want the group to stay intact and expand for viewing as a few of these could create a lot of schedules quick and get messy to navigate. Nice thing is after group is made you can delete or edit any of them.

Today I got a new place to live and I haven't even started to get ready so now it'll be a week till I touch anything.
