24 hour timer query

Hi!

I am trying to set up a case where the user has the ability to set the input of a timer for my 3 LED lights RED, GREEN, BLUE.

 

The sort of input i am looking for is to prompt the user to set the period of lighting

For example

16:8 which is 16 hours of light 8 hours of darkness. I would hope this could run in a loop until either a stop button is pressed or the amount of cycles in days is set.

 

Can someone please offer some advice. I have tried different methods but cant seem to get a handle on how to approach the task

Not able to View your code (using Lower LV version)

Using Get Date and time in seconds function,  subtract initial time from current time which will give you the time difference, continue the same till you reach target time (assume 16 hours of light), once you achieve 16 hours again re initiate the start time and subtract with current time for darkness

Not sure if that solves the issue, there is alot more going on in the interface that you might not be able to see 😞
