I'm trying to find out how to format the __DATE__ and __TIME__ options in Marlin.

This is NOT a duplicate of (Show Build date and time in Marlin 2.0).

When compiling my firmware I have a line in my configuration.h

#define CUSTOM_MACHINE_NAME __DATE__ " " __TIME__ " Ender-3"

But on the printer it is showing

Dec 5 2022 18:25:13 Ender-3

I want the format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm. Example "12/05/2022 18:25 Ender-3"

Reset to default

__DATE__ and __TIME__ are C++ pre-processor macros with a predefined format. I don't think that there's any way to change them at compile time.

    $\begingroup$ Spot on! There is a way (see this question), but that requires you to interpret the string and create your own format based on the default string. $\endgroup$
