I need help with time clock please?

edited 2002-11-15 11:26 in General Discussion
Hi Group,

I would like to develop an application that carries out a function
depending on the time of day.

Can anybody give me some guidance on how to do this?

I am guessing that an external clock device is required, but beyond
that I'm lost.

FANX in advance.

Regards,

Dwain.

    On the Parallax web site you'll find code to access the DS1302 and PCF8583
    real-time-clock modules. You can take it from there.

    Is there anywhere that I can download the application source code rather
    than typing it in from acrobat reader?

    Using Adobe Acrobat;
    You should be able to select the "text" option from the tool bar,
    then use your mouse to select the text, and copy it into the clipboard. Then
    you can paste it into the text editor of your choice.

    Actually you can use the text select tool on Acrobat reader to select
    the text you want and copy it in any document you want. it is the
    icon next to the zoom icon.

    cheers

    OK, I have assembled the gear, and cut and pasted the program, and the damn
    thing doesn't work [noparse]:([/noparse]

    I tried the short code for the clock and it doesn't work due errors, and the
    long code doesn't appear to work either.

    Is the code known good code, has anybody else tried the clock application
    software?

    Regards,

    Dwain

    OK,

    I dunno if the sample code on my site will help you, but I know it worked for
    me... (all this assuming you're using the PCF8583...)

    http://www.lennard.net.nz/ click on I2C then the RTC example...

    Ypiu - oh golly my typing in bad at the mo - you should be able to work it out
    from that code and the data sheet for the PCF8583...
