Arduino Reading and Writing alarm and clock times to the EEPROM

Projects Programming

I have a code that calls one timer and that timer writes for how long the alarm is set for on the eeprom. I eventually want to have the alarm clock write the time of the alarm in the eeprom but i figured i need to start small. My code gets the time from an rtc and I just want it to write the value of the timer in the eeprom then read the value back to me on the serial monitor. however i keep getting this error, i posted below and the code is attached. Does anyone have an idea what the error is? Is this the right way going abut writing and reading arrays, function to the eeprom? Thanks

#include "DS1307RTC.h"

int address = 0;

struct config_t
{
long alarm;
int mode;
} configuration;

void setup() {

Serial.begin(9600);

setSyncProvider(RTC.get);
Alarm.timerRepeat(10, alarm);
EEPROM_readAnything(0, configuration);
}

void loop() {

Serial.print(address);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(alarm);
Serial.println();

// advance to the next address of the EEPROM
address = address + 1;

// there are only 512 bytes of EEPROM, from 0 to 511, so if we're
// on address 512, wrap around to address 0
if (address == 512)
address = 0;

delay(500);

Alarm.delay(0); //Needed for the timer alarms
} //End of Loop

void alarm ()
{
EEPROM_writeAnything(0, configuration);
}

Serial.print(alarm);

What is it that you expect to print in this line ?
The compiler seems to think that you are trying to print the alarm() function. Did you perhaps mean to print configuration.alarm ?

Can you explain a little more what you are trying to achieve ? Your loop() function appears to write the same data to EEPROM every half second thus wearing it out very quickly. Is that what you want it to do ?

Thanks for your post. I am merely trying to retrieve the actual value being written. So If I say alarm.timerRepeat(10, alarm)
I want to see that 10 show up in the serial monitor. Ultimately, i am really trying to do this method but from the alarm times. For example, if I say alarm.alarmRepeat (10, 20, 49 , alarm) I am trying to retrieve that particular time of 10:20:49 sec. I did further research, and I can set each hour, minute, seconds as variables then do a string concatination for those variables. I guess what i had in mind is

int j = 10,
int k = 20,
int l= 49,

and do

alarm.alarmRepeat(j, k, l, alarm);

Now I am trying to put all three variable together into one variable and simply write and read that variable on the serial monitor. Would I do something like this....?

v = stringconcat(j, k, l);

If I do it like this, can I just print the 'v' to the serial monitor, EEPROM, external storage device, etc. ??
I hope this better explains what i am trying to do. Thanks for your time

Don't you have another thread going on the same topic? Of course you do.
