I need to use autoit to get the time from a local ntp timeserver.
; Function gets time from timeserver to not relay on pc time
Func get_Time_From_Time_Server()
Local $iSocket = UDPOpen(TCPNameToIP($s_Time_Server), 123) ; Port 123
Local $data = ""
While $data = ""
$data = UDPRecv($iSocket, 100)
Sleep(100)
Wend
EndFunc
Opening the UDP connection seems to work, but $data stays equal to "".
Where is any request to socket in your code?
Here is example of receiving data from local ntp (Source):
#include <Date.au3>
$recv = NTP_Connect("10.24.1.20")
ConsoleWrite($recv & @CRLF)
Parse_Time($recv)
Func NTP_Connect($NTP_Server)
UDPStartup()
Dim $socket = UDPOpen(TCPNameToIP($NTP_Server), 123)
$status = UDPSend($socket, MakePacket("1b0e01000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"))
$data = ""
While $data = ""
$data = UDPRecv($socket, 100)
Sleep(100)
WEnd
UDPCloseSocket($socket)
UDPShutdown()
Return $data
EndFunc ;==>NTP_Connect
Func MakePacket($d)
Local $p = ""
While $d
$p &= Chr(Dec(StringLeft($d, 2)))
$d = StringTrimLeft($d, 2)
WEnd
Return $p
EndFunc ;==>MakePacket
Func Parse_Time($bdata)
$unsignedHexValue = StringMid($bdata, 83, 8)
$value = UnsignedHexToDec($unsignedHexValue)
$TZinfo = _Date_Time_GetTimeZoneInformation()
$UTC = _DateAdd("s", $value, "1900/01/01 00:00:00")
ConsoleWrite($UTC & @CRLF)
If $TZinfo[0] <> 2 Then ; 0 = Daylight Savings not used in current time zone / 1 = Standard Time
$TZoffset = ($TZinfo[1]) * - 1
Else ; 2 = Daylight Savings Time
$TZoffset = ($TZinfo[1] + $TZinfo[7]) * - 1
EndIf
$UTC = _DateAdd("n", $TZoffset, $UTC)
$m = StringMid($UTC, 6, 2)
$d = StringMid($UTC, 9, 2)
$y = StringMid($UTC, 1, 4)
$h = StringMid($UTC, 12, 2)
$mi = StringMid($UTC, 15, 2)
$s = StringMid($UTC, 18, 2)
EndFunc
Func UnsignedHexToDec($n)
$ones = StringRight($n, 1)
$n = StringTrimRight($n, 1)
Return Dec($n) * 16 + Dec($ones)
EndFunc ;==>UnsignedHexToDec
