B4R Question Get current time from the PC and program the DS3231 with it

Tim Chapman · Jul 2, 2025

Is there any way for the B4R IDE to get the current time from the PC it is running on and be able to use program a DS3231 with it. Something like DateTime.Now?

Not automatically.

You can for example use this tool to send the time to Arduino: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/tool-external-serial-connector.65724/#content
