yep, we have those in the midwest as well. got a test one many years ago at 2am on a sunday. People were NOT happy.
We(I) can turn off most of the notices. But still herself likes to get them. So I get to listen to hers get notices about the weather/amber/etc....

In Florida we only really need them when a hurricane is imminent.

we have tornados. Not sure which is worse. Hurricane much bigger and spawns tornados. But midwest tornados are huge and come out of nowhere.

Well hurricanes spawn tornadoes though...

Sounds like they forgot to adjust from UTC to US East coast time.

I power my phone off during sleeping hours. Making oneself accessible to notifications 24/7 is nonsensical.

Yes, but we have a daughter living with us and she works the late shift at a grocery store. She typically gets home after midnight. We need to sleep with phones on in case she has some emergency and needs us.

I guess that when Putin cracks and presses the button, you'll never get the warning, and never know why it all ended.π

Just switch off emergency alerts on your phone.
Although I am considering being present in Tesco on Sunday when everyone else's phone goes off and then proceed to run around babbling "We're all going to die!"
Goodness knows what is going to happen on the roads when a bunch of drivers reach for their phones to switch off the loud alarm.

Got your attention though, didn't it? In that sense it proved something useful.π

Yeah, I've never made a mistake in system management,  .
The company is losing their contract as a result since Ron (Mr. Perfect  ) DeSantis has so ordained it.
I'm not saying it wasn't a really dumb error, but let he who hath not sinned cast the first stone?

I like the prime time ones. If we are sitting in the den at 9pm watching TV and a
gray Toyota drives through - it does not matter what the license plate is on it - I'm
calling the cops. I don't need an alert for that.

Hi All,
Do we have an Embedded page or shall I ask in C/C++ forum..?

Richard, Richard. I don't think I've seen you troll anyone before. 
|
|
|
|
|
Well, pardon me for trying.
The title of the question led me to believe that Glenn is looking to embed a pictire of Bob somewhere.
|
|
|
|
|
He did wonder if should post in the C/C++ forum, hence my conclusion.
|
|
|
|
|
I guess I wasn't really looking to closely.

He was just being a dick.

I think the question is about where to post a question about embedded systems...

Well in all fairness I need to ask a question on C programming to make sure I am not missing something. I was in the middle of writing a document (not related) and thought ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) might know. So in all fairness I deserved the trolling.

I do IoT stuff, which is related and similar, and am diving into more embedded here.
For my part, I just ask C questions in the C section, whether it's embedded or not.
What's harder is asking about the things where the hardware and firmware meet, but typically I'll just consider that a programming question, tag it as best I can, and then make sure I'm clear about what I'm doing in the description.
There are enough embedded devs here I think you'll be able to cast a net and get something that way.

Not to worry I solved the original problem and as is the case meant something else broke, bodged that. Now being left over night to see what breaks next... The LCD driver is a pain yes, you can send it an integer or float but will display a decimal point? Some times yes some times no, and will it return I2C address? (so I can hook up a real time clock that use I2C) No is the answer. Shall I try to get the data sheet, oh company went bust and some genius bought a load of LCD's on Ebay...  Circuit diagrams, who needs those!

You're probably using a crappy graphics driver.
I have one that may work better for you depending on the type of MCU you're using, but your best bet is to actually use
sprintf(tmp,"formatspecifier",value);
and then display tmp so you have total control over the formatting of it.
