Hi folks,

there are my first "final" release of the RTC Library for the Arduino Due.

2 examples included.

I would call it final for the moment.

And on github: https://github.com/MarkusLange/Arduino-Due-RTC-Library

Have fun

Markus

Dear Markus,

I've tried to use the RTC library. At first I tried to check the examples to check them  on my arduino, but when verifying, many errors came through.  Is like most of the variables on rtc_clock.cpp are undeclared.

Did you had this problem?

Sounds like you installed the library in the wrong location.

I haven't received my due yet but many thanks for the effort.

Can you please tell me where is the right location in Windows? I tried installing it like I do with other arduino libraries, but to no avail I come up with a long list of "" not declared errors when I try to compile the examples. My friend running archlinux compiled the examples no problem.

My mind = boggled...

Well, there's 2 places you can install them:

In your sketchbook:  C:\Users\[your computer name]\Documents\Arduino\libraries
Arduino Install:  C:\[install path]\arduino-1.5.2\libraries

One thing I noticed when using this library: Instantiating the rtc object seems to hang the program for about 2 seconds. This didn't work for me in the project I'm working on because it needed to start processing input right away. I didn't trace down why it took so long. Is that normal to take 2 seconds?

If you give me a hint may I can help is it this part?

Code:

// Select the Slowclock source
//RTC_clock rtc_clock(RC);
RTC_clock rtc_clock(XTAL);

or does it came from this line?

Code:

rtc_clock.init();

By the first part it happend about the external xtal to swing-in

It seems to happen at this line:

RTC_clock rtc_clock(XTAL);

You're saying that the delay is waiting for the crystal to settle? Shouldn't using the crystal take less than 2 seconds?

In my words NOOOOOOOO!!!

The internal RC is extremly unstable about counting on time he is too slow. You will loose time.

May use the Teensy 3 who sets faster up in combination with the time lib
