Hello I'm trying to automatkcally set ds3231 rtc module using the RTCLib library. It is what I found online to work. The problem is there are some strange time numbers after the date. Also the date is in correct. And I do not know how to set it. I'm attaching sketch below and screenshot image.
// Date and time functions using a DS3231 RTC connected via I2C and Wire lib
#include "RTClib.h"
RTC_DS3231 rtc;
char daysOfTheWeek[7][12] = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"};
void setup () {
Serial.begin(57600);
if (! rtc.begin()) {
Serial.println("Couldn't find RTC");
Serial.flush();
abort();
}
if (rtc.lostPower()) {
Serial.println("RTC lost power, let's set the time!");
// When time needs to be set on a new device, or after a power loss, the
// following line sets the RTC to the date & time this sketch was compiled
rtc.adjust(DateTime(F(__DATE__), F(__TIME__)));
// This line sets the RTC with an explicit date & time, for example to set
// January 21, 2014 at 3am you would call:
// rtc.adjust(DateTime(2014, 1, 21, 3, 0, 0));
}
// When time needs to be re-set on a previously configured device, the
// following line sets the RTC to the date & time this sketch was compiled
// rtc.adjust(DateTime(F(__DATE__), F(__TIME__)));
// This line sets the RTC with an explicit date & time, for example to set
// January 21, 2014 at 3am you would call:
// rtc.adjust(DateTime(2014, 1, 21, 3, 0, 0));
}
void loop () {
DateTime now = rtc.now();
Serial.print(now.year(), DEC);
Serial.print('/');
Serial.print(now.month(), DEC);
Serial.print('/');
Serial.print(now.day(), DEC);
Serial.print(" (");
Serial.print(daysOfTheWeek[now.dayOfTheWeek()]);
Serial.print(") ");
Serial.print(now.hour(), DEC);
Serial.print(':');
Serial.print(now.minute(), DEC);
Serial.print(':');
Serial.print(now.second(), DEC);
Serial.println();
// Serial.print(" since midnight 1/1/1970 = ");
// Serial.print(now.unixtime());
// Serial.print("s = ");
// Serial.print(now.unixtime() / 86400L);
// Serial.println("d");
//
// // calculate a date which is 7 days, 12 hours, 30 minutes, 6 seconds into the future
// DateTime future (now + TimeSpan(7,12,30,6));
//
// Serial.print(" now + 7d + 12h + 30m + 6s: ");
// Serial.print(future.year(), DEC);
// Serial.print('/');
// Serial.print(future.month(), DEC);
// Serial.print('/');
// Serial.print(future.day(), DEC);
// Serial.print(' ');
// Serial.print(future.hour(), DEC);
// Serial.print(':');
// Serial.print(future.minute(), DEC);
// Serial.print(':');
// Serial.print(future.second(), DEC);
// Serial.println();
//
// Serial.print("Temperature: ");
// Serial.print(rtc.getTemperature());
// Serial.println(" C");
//
// Serial.println();
delay(1000);
}I have comment out the future time and date I honestly don't know what that is for Only just the current time and date.
It shows the incorrect date I do not know why. It shows sometimes Tuesday and Sometimes Thursday.

Can someone please help me out?
