Hi,
You mention the following;
I'm a beginner in arduino but know my electronics! Coding is not my best part but eager to learn from anyone!
I am wondering if what you are attempting to do is initially to complex for you, considering you are new to Arduino and maybe programming in general.
My question to you is, have you played around, experimented with the examples?
Doing so will give you the best possible understanding in a shorter time, learning from experience and experimenting.
It seems you have tried by combining the two setup sections and doing some other things.
You really will need to understand each program in its own right and then be able to pull them apart to re-combine into one program.
I personally would not write the programs like you have presented, I find it difficult to read, especially with the comments left justified and on separate lines.
I make use of functions to break the code down into relevant parts, I also break larger code sections into separate source/header files.
Doing this make it far easier to read and develop larger code.
I do not want to dampen your enthusiasm, but I am thinking and concerned that you may well be overwhelmed by trying and ending up disheartened with failure.
I have code that will do what you want that I have developed, but I can tell you it does take time to develop, time to sit down and learn.
For me or others giving you code, I would guess you will not learn so much, what do you think?
Can I encourage you to try merging the code of two smaller projects initially.
I would be keen to hear of your progress.
One last question, check that your Adafruit data logger has a hardware based rtc on board, as your code needs this?
