the time for DS3231 froze on one value 19-36-5 it is not moving I read in one of the answers in the forum to a different question to change the halt in the serial monitor, there is no halt there can anyone help, thanks.
post your code
#include <Wire.h>
#include <DS3231.h>

#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h> // For the LCD

#define DS3231_I2C_ADDRESS 104 // RTC is connected, address is Hex68 (Decimal 104)
// SCL - pin A5
// SDA - pin A4
// To set the clock, run the sketch and use the serial monitor.
// Enter T1124154091014; the code will read this and set the clock. See the code for full details.

You check Serial.available() once, then charge away and Serial.read() dozens of characters. How do you know that any characters after the first one are available?

You have posted code without using code tags. The code tags make the code look
like this
when posting source code files. It makes it easier to read, and can be copied with a single mouse click. Also, if you don't do it, some of the character sequences in the code can be misinterpred by the forum code as italics or funny emoticons. The "Code: [Select]" feature allows someone to select the entire sketch so it can be easily copied and pasted into the IDE for testing or review.
If you have already posted without using code tags, open your message and select "modify" from the pull down menu labelled, "More", at the lower right corner of the message. Highlight your code by selecting it (it turns blue), and then click on the "</>" icon at the upper left hand corner. Click on the "Save" button. Code tags can also be inserted manually in the forum text using the code and /code metatags.
thank you for the advice.
Please edit your post to add code tags.

thank you for the advice.
You're welcome. Did it work?
