Library Description

The library initializes and defines the I2C drivers and drivers that offer a choice of writing data in register and reading data from the register in BCD and DEC format. The library includes function for sets Time, Date, new Alarm and set/get UNIX time. The user can set and read Time and Date data, especially using the functions for reading and writing data. The library includes functions for setting the desired alarm, disabling alarm and checking whether an alarm has been activated.

Key functions:

  • uint8_t rtc8_readData(uint8_t reg) - Read one byte data from register in DEC format.
  • uint32_t rtc8_getUNIX() - Get current UNIX time.
  • uint8_t rtc8_setTime(uint8_t _hours, uint8_t _minutes, uint8_t _seconds) - Set new start time - 24 hour format.
  • uint8_t rtc8_setDate(uint8_t _date, uint8_t _month, uint8_t _year) - Set new start date.

Examples description

The application is composed of the three sections :

  • System Initialization - Initializes I2C module and sets INT pin as INPUT and CS pin as OUTPUT.
  • Application Initialization - Initialization driver init, settings RTC for work and sets start time/date and new alarm.
  • Application Task - Read current Time, Date and UNIX time and checks if the alarm is active.

Note: Comment the lines for setting date and time if you would like the module to keep counting time after a reset or shut down.

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART clickUSB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
