DEFINE_PROGRAM is not running, why?

Anarckos

which can prevent running the DEFINE_PROGRAM?
the message will not appear. the issue is not just about the message, anything that puts to run depending on the time is not done.

Your asking for 1 second precision in a 1 second WAIT. WAITs are not intended for precision timing. You are parking the instruction in a queue, and when the time has expired the instruction is carried out. If there is any processing of any other sort going on, it isn't going to be at that second. Think of WAITs as "at least this long," not "exactly this long." If you want precision, use a timeline, and make the check for your exact time happen more than once a second.

Think of WAITs as "at least this long," not "exactly this long." If you want precision, use a timeline, and make the check for your exact time happen more than once a second. It might even work if you set your WAIT to 5 instead of 10, or even just 1. At least then you have a chance of catching your exact to-the-second time. But even those methods are subject to processor lag. Instead, I would test for IF(LEFT_STRING(TIME,5) == "18:00"), and set a flag so it doesn't trigger multiple times.

Problem solved.

Problem solved.
the code works, the problem is with the clock of the controller.
I noticed that the time displayed in the diagnostics is the time of the computer and not the master.

English by google, sorry.
