I2C-RTC and I2C-7SEG

JRC610

Hello all,
I am trying to use a BS2p with a I2C-RTC and a I2C-&SEG from a place called gravitech. I am haveing problems getting the time to show up on the 7SEG unit. Has anyone tried these out before? I have seperate codes for them and I am tring to put them together but not sure exactlly how. Can someone help?

Much of the code can be shared among I2C devices -- it need not be "seperate". Have you been able to display other data on the display? That's the first thing to attempt. Once you get the display working properly, only then should you attempt to get data from the RTC.

While the code need not be separate, your development efforts certainly ought to be separate.

Gravitech supplies sample code for the RTC (and probably for the display too -- I don't know) that, while written in a slovenly manner, does work. Anyway, I infer that you're trying to debug both at once, which is a very difficult thing to do.

Have you gotten the two devices to work seperately? If you use the attachment manager to attach your code we can look and see if we can find a problem/solution.

Yes I have been able to get both of the units to work seperatly. Gravitech supllied codes for both I2C's. One to set and then see the time and the otherto have the 7SEG count from 0 to 9999.·I have attached both the files
