Set RTC to compile time, but RTC not retaining time after power cycle.

Using Arduino Programming Questions

Hi,

I use this library:

But is there a way to set the time into the rtc 'live' while running?

Everytime I use: (for example)

setTime(13, 12, 11, 2, 11, 2014);
RTC.set(now());

the program 'hangs' and time is not progressing anymore....after a reset time is displayed again as before but not updated/adjusted.

Using only setTime seems like to work but I think it's not saved/written to the rtc......
