must scan the QR code separately, and then enter the string following the “secret=”
parameter on your Rockbox device manually.
On devices with a real-time clock, like yours, the plugin will ask whether the account
is a time-based account (TOTP). If you answer “yes” to this question, it will ask for
further information regarding the account.
Usually it is safe to accept the defaults
here.
However, if your device lacks a real-time clock, the plugin’s functionality will be
restricted to HMAC-based (HOTP) accounts only. If this is the case, the plugin will
prompt you for information regarding the HOTP setup.
12.4.16. Advanced Settings
Time Zone Configuration
In order for TOTP accounts to work properly, the plugin must be able to determine
the current UTC time. This means that, first, your device’s clock must be synchronized
with UTC time, and second, that the plugin knows what time zone the clock is using.
The plugin will prompt you on its first run for this piece of information. However,
should this setting need changing at a later time, possibly due to Daylight Saving Time
adjustment, it is located under the “Advanced” submenu. NOTE: in the UI simulator,
use the “UTC” setting no matter what the clock may read.
12.4.17. Periodic Table
The periodic table plugin allows easy browsing and viewing of details of elements, giving
a detailed output for each selection.
Navigate the table using the directional keys,
pressing back or exit exits the plugin.

12.4.18. Pitch Detector
With the Pitch Detector, you can play a note on a musical instrument, and the plugin
will tell you what note it is (e.g. A, A#, B, etc.) The frequency will also be displayed.
This may be a great assistance when tuning a musical instrument.
