Graag had ik uitleg gehad van de programmatie van de klok zelf , de klok werkt perfect (controle via seriële monitor).
Ik wil een delay van 8h maar weet niet goed hoe ik dat kan programmeren op basis van de lopende klok. Wie kan mij hierover informeren? Alvast bedankt 
De code van de klok (zie hieronder) is in mijn bestaande project geïntegreerd buiten de delay is het af...
#include "Wire.h"
#define DS3231_I2C_ADDRESS 0x68
// Convert normal decimal numbers to binary coded decimal
byte decToBcd(byte val)
{
return( (val/1016) + (val%10) );
}
// Convert binary coded decimal to normal decimal numbers
byte bcdToDec(byte val)
{
return( (val/1610) + (val%16) );
}
void setup()
{
Wire.begin();
Serial.begin(9600);
// set the initial time here:
// DS3231 seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, year
// DE TIJDEN IN DE ONDERSTE LIJN AANPASSEN OM DE KLOK JUIST TE ZETTEN DE DAG IS 1 DAG MEER TELLEN
//setDS3231time(00,27,20,4,4,04,18);
}
void setDS3231time(byte second, byte minute, byte hour, byte dayOfWeek, byte
dayOfMonth, byte month, byte year)
{
// sets time and date data to DS3231
Wire.beginTransmission(DS3231_I2C_ADDRESS);
Wire.write(0); // set next input to start at the seconds register
Wire.write(decToBcd(second)); // set seconds
Wire.write(decToBcd(minute)); // set minutes
Wire.write(decToBcd(hour)); // set hours
Wire.write(decToBcd(dayOfWeek)); // set day of week (1=Sunday, 7=Saturday)
Wire.write(decToBcd(dayOfMonth)); // set date (1 to 31)
Wire.write(decToBcd(month)); // set month
Wire.write(decToBcd(year)); // set year (0 to 99)
Wire.endTransmission();
}
void readDS3231time(byte *second,
byte *minute,
byte *hour,
byte *dayOfWeek,
byte *dayOfMonth,
byte *month,
byte *year)
{
Wire.beginTransmission(DS3231_I2C_ADDRESS);
Wire.write(0); // set DS3231 register pointer to 00h
Wire.endTransmission();
Wire.requestFrom(DS3231_I2C_ADDRESS, 7);
// request seven bytes of data from DS3231 starting from register 00h
*second = bcdToDec(Wire.read() & 0x7f);
*minute = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
*hour = bcdToDec(Wire.read() & 0x3f);
*dayOfWeek = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
*dayOfMonth = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
*month = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
*year = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
}
void displayTime()
{
byte second, minute, hour, dayOfWeek, dayOfMonth, month, year;
// retrieve data from DS3231
readDS3231time(&second, &minute, &hour, &dayOfWeek, &dayOfMonth, &month,
&year);
// send it to the serial monitor
Serial.print(hour, DEC);
// convert the byte variable to a decimal number when displayed
Serial.print(":");
if (minute<10)
{
Serial.print("0");
}
Serial.print(minute, DEC);
Serial.print(":");
if (second<10)
{
Serial.print("0");
}
Serial.print(second, DEC);
Serial.print(" ");
Serial.print(dayOfMonth, DEC);
Serial.print("/");
Serial.print(month, DEC);
Serial.print("/");
Serial.print(year, DEC);
Serial.print(" Day of week: ");
switch(dayOfWeek){
case 1:
Serial.println("Sunday");
break;
case 2:
Serial.println("Monday");

case 3:

case 6:

case 7:

void loop()
{
displayTime(); // display the real-time clock data on the Serial Monitor,
delay(1000); // every second
}
