Have a look at this, http://strftime.org/
Try %-I%M instead of %H%M. Not sure how you’ll designate PM, put a dot at the end maybe?

I had a feeling you would say that. ;)
I show the time in a scrolling message on my sense hat LED matrix. I chose to show the AM PM at the end.
I do dateString = "%A %B %-d %-I:%M:%p"
I end up with 8:13:AM as an example. I did a few Google searches before I found that link I posted. Trial and (mostly) error got me all kinds of weird stuff displayed lol.

i don’t think its possible to show the am/pm on the fourletter phat anyway…I will save the link

I think the best you could do is lite up the dot in the lower right for PM.
The -I takes out any leading zero’s, just so you know. If you put in just I you’ll get 08 13 etc.
I’d rather have 8 13 myself.
