Program Description

  • " draw()" function is OLED display interface and it displays characters with a few steps:
    • Set font
    • Set font coordinate place
    • Print characters to be displayed
  • setRtcTime() is time setting function. For example setRtcTime(15, 5, 18, 1, 10, 22, 33) presents 33 seconds at 10: 22 on Monday, 18, May, 2015.
void setRtcTime (byte _year, byte _month, byte _day, byte _week, byte _hour, byte _minute, byte _sec)
{
  //clear out all the registers
  rtc.initClock();
  rtc.setDate(_day, _week, _month, 0, _year);
  rtc.setTime(_hour, _minute, _sec);
}

Code Debugging

Find this code section and set the initial time of the RTC module. Re-load the code to CoreUSB after setting.

setRtcTime(15, 5, 18, 1, 00, 00, 00);

Enter "//" before this code section after loading the program, the whole section will turn gray and then re-load the program and you'll see RTC can time automatically. ("//" means "comment out the program code and do not perform ". In this way, you needn't run the program after calibration or the system will need re-set time after power-fail and re-start. )

//setRtcTime(15, 5, 18, 1, 00, 00, 00);

Hardware Buildup

  • Setup 1:Connect the activated battery box and BM module.

  • Setup 2:Stack all modules together without fixed order and finish circuit buildup.

Result

The first line shows data and week. The second line displays: time and the third displays custom text.
