[Ovmsdev] Time variable

The issue is that we don’t have week numbers from the GPS (and presumably week to date is non-trivial).
We get the date/time from the NMEA RMC message, then pass it into this to convert to a julian date/time:
/**
* utc_to_timestamp:
* convert GPS date & time (UTC) to timestamp
* date: "ddmmyy"
* time: "hhmmss"
*/
static unsigned long utc_to_timestamp(const char* date, const char* time)
{
int day, month, year, hour, minute, second;
day = (date[0]-'0')*10 + (date[1]-'0');
month = (date[2]-'0')*10 + (date[3]-'0');
year = (date[4]-'0')*10 + (date[5]-'0');
hour = (time[0]-'0')*10 + (time[1]-'0');
minute = (time[2]-'0')*10 + (time[3]-'0');
second = (time[4]-'0')*10 + (time[5]-'0');
return
(JdFromYMD(2000+year, month, day) - JDEpoch) * (24L * 3600)
+ ((hour * 60L + minute) * 60) + second;
}
Perhaps sufficient to add 1024 * 7 * 86400 to that?
Regards, Mark.
