Hey guys! How're you doing today?

I need help to set the clock in circuit, that is, using a couple pushbuttons to do it...

I already have the clock running.

I create the SetClock and SetDate functions but no matter what I can't figure out how to do it.

Can you help me out?

I also accept some coding tips

I used the SetClockButtonState variable (which can be 0, 1 or 2) to change from DisplayClock, SetClock, SetDate.

Code:

// Date and time functions using a DS1307 RTC connected via I2C and Wire lib

#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include "RTClib.h"

#define DS1307_I2C_ADDRESS 0x68 // each I2C object has a unique bus address, the DS1307 is 0x68

RTC_DS1307 RTC;

LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

// Create custom char
byte graus[8] = {
  0b01110,
  0b10001,
  0b10001,
  0b01110,
  0b00000,
  0b00000,
  0b00000,
  0b00000
};

unsigned char pin=0; // analog pin
int temp=0, Vin=0, j=0;
float minimum = (-424.0/6.25), samples[20];

const int SetClockButton = 9;     // Pushbutton switch between: display clock/date/temp or set clock or set date
int SetClockButtonState = 0;      // Current state of the button
const int ChangeClockButton = 8;  // Pushbutton to choose what to change - second, minute, hour, day, month or year.


void setup ()
{
  Serial.begin(57600);
  Wire.begin();
  RTC.begin();
  lcd.begin(16, 2);  
  lcd.createChar(0, graus);
  analogReference(INTERNAL);

  // initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
  pinMode(SetClockButton, INPUT);  
  pinMode(ChangeClockButton, INPUT);

  // following line sets the RTC to the date & time this sketch was compiled
  // RTC.adjust(DateTime(__DATE__, __TIME__));

  if (! RTC.isrunning())
  {
    Serial.println("RTC is NOT running!");
    // following line sets the RTC to the date & time this sketch was compiled only if clock is not running.
    RTC.adjust(DateTime(__DATE__, __TIME__));
  }  

  // Square-wave output
  Wire.beginTransmission(DS1307_I2C_ADDRESS);
  Wire.write(0x07); // move pointer to SQW address
  Wire.write(0x13); // sends 0x13 (hex) 00010011 (binary)
  Wire.endTransmission();

}

      if (digitalRead(SetClockButton) == 1)
      {
        lcd.clear();    
        SetClockButtonState=1;
      }
    }
  }

  while (SetClockButtonState == 1)
  {
    SetClock();
  }

  while (SetClockButtonState == 2)

    SetDate();

Code:

  while (SetClockButtonState == 0)

I think you need to actually read the state of the button... In fact, I know that you do.

Code:

while(digitalRead(SetClockButton) == LOW)
{
   // Do something
}

Thanks for the tip

However, the problem is not the changing... This is working perfeclty

The problem is how to set the clock in circuit!

I know how to set the clock using the computer... that is, after each compiling, the clock is set the with the values I want.

However, I want to add a feature: set the clock while it is running. I can use 2 or 3 pushbuttons for that, but I don't know the function that can change the clock.

I think that this setup is related to something like that:

Example for minute change:

Code:

if (button pressed)
RTC.adjust(DateTime(year(), month(), day(), hour(); minute()+1; second()));

You can use that same process at any time. It doesn't have to be called just in setup().

Search this forum. Someone else did much the same thing quite recently.

Thanks. I'll do the search
