Wish Real Time Clock RTC_DS1307

[atiaust]

Hi All,

Attached are the libraries for use with the RTC_DS1307 real time clock module for Arduino. This communicates via the I2C bus.

Have tried to write the C++ RunNative without much success.

Can someone assist.

Thanks

Didn't have time to "clean" the code; this program Reads the B4R DS3231 RTC data (without library) displays on B4J logging console (selecting B4J serial connector on Board Selector) and writes Time to Arduino RTC from B4J

The "trickiest" part is to convert bcd to dec and viceversa

Note that using JoinStrings inside a Log command is a mistake. It just wastes memory.

Log(JoinStrings (Array As String(s1, s2))) 'not good
Log(s1, s2) 'good

I would also change the Timer sub to:

Sub Timer1_Tick
 
  Dim breadtime(7) As Byte
  Dim b As Byte
  Dim bb(17) As Byte '0, 1, 2 are not used
  Dim bsec(2) As Byte
  Dim num As Byte
     bsec=BcdToDec(breadtime(i))
  For i=1 To 6
  bb(i + 2) = Bit.Get(b,7)*8+Bit.Get(b,6)*4+Bit.Get(b,5)*2+Bit.Get(b,4)*1
    bb(i + 3) = Bit.Get(b,3)*8+Bit.Get(b,2)*4+Bit.Get(b,1)*2+Bit.Get(b,0)*1
  Next
   
  Log(bsec(1),bsec(0),":",bb(3),bb(4),":",bb(1),bb(2))
 
End Sub

With that said, there are errors in the code as b is never set.

 

[atiaust]

Thank you both for your replies.

This works for me but I was hoping I may have been able to use an inline C++ call to the library to get the time & date info.

Thanks again.

hi Erel: b is never set,run b4j time is error The following accessories,Can someone assist.

 

[Erel]

This is not my code. As I wrote there are errors in this code.

I think I'd upload an old code revision; I'll find for the correct one or modify the post (first, I've to find my RTC_DS1307 !!)
