Passing E-number value instead of name

[stan_w_gifford]

Using arduino r4

Trying to set the RTC

Every param except the month can be passed as an integer - accept the month which is passed as an enum

Eg rtctime(dd,Month::august,yyyy……

I have the month as an integer value 0-11 and would like to pass this instead.

I am more a C# programmer and don’t do much with enums.

Can anyone advise a working syntax.

Please post a sketch that illustrates your problem, using code tags when you do

The month enum number will likely resolve to an int in the range 0-11 anyway. Just try using it. You may find that you have an off by one error to fix or perhaps you'll be lucky. Cast it if you have to.

Trying to set the RTC

Which RTC? Which Board? Which RTC Library?

[stan_w_gifford]

Arduino uno r4
Onboard rtc

Small sketch below;

As mentioned above this is for an arduino UNO R4

The 'try a cast suggestion was the clincher - this compiles - however I will have to wait until I get home (where the H/W is) to do a full test.

Will advise.

// Include the RTC library
#include "RTC.h"

void setup() {
  /* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
  //Initialize serial and wait for port to open:

 
int dd=21;
int mm=3;
int yyyy=2023;
int hh=17;
int MM=12;
int ss=04;

//  21-March-2023 17:12:04
 RTC.begin();
 RTCTime timeToSet(dd, Month::JUNE, yyyy, hh, MM, ss, DayOfWeek::WEDNESDAY, SaveLight::SAVING_TIME_ACTIVE);   // This works (Compiles)
RTC.setTime(timeToSet);

RTCTime timeToSet2(dd, (Month)mm-1, yyyy, hh, MM, ss, DayOfWeek::WEDNESDAY, SaveLight::SAVING_TIME_ACTIVE); // This compiles 
RTC.setTime(timeToSet2);
}
