Getting a date value without using process date process.h

[OtisHarrison24]

Is there anyway to get a timestamp to pass from the aws iot sdk to pass into my json file?

Thanks

Hi @OtisHarrison24 ,

Thank you very much for your interest in AWS IoT Arduino Yun SDK.

If you are looking for getting the timestamp from Arduino board instead of the embedded Linux, you can try out the following library:
http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/Time

now() should give you a timestamp in seconds since Jan. 1, 1970.

Thanks,
Liusu
