DS1307 RTC example

[malc-c]

I have an EasyPIC5 development board and one of the Microelectonica RTC2 add on modules which has been breadboarded and needed to be tested as part of an ongoing project. The following example simply shows todays date (14/2/10) and starts running from 19:00 hrs.

Although this example was simply used to test the comms between PIC and Module, it should be a simple matter to add a few tweaks to allow the date and time to be set.

Hi Malcolm.

I'm trying this code but can't make it work. It only displays:

Time= 00:00:00
Date= 00:00:00

but does not show the date and time that was set or advance.

Tried grounding DS1307's Vbat pin and using a lithium battery between this pin and ground. Tried 1k, 4.7K and 10k resistors to Vcc from SCL & SDA.

I know I can write to the DS1307 and I know it's ticking since I can make the SQWE pin stop or go 1 Hz by changing the last byte while writing, I just don't seem to be able to read from it.

I'm using a 16F887 at 4 mhz, pin PortB.1 is SCL, pin PortB.2 is SDA.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Rogerio

Ok, so I had forgoten to clear Anselh register, ha.

Working great now,

Thanks for the code malcolm!

Rogerio

[malc-c]

Glad to hear you've got it working.

It's fairly basic in functionality, I just used it as a test to confirm that the hardware is working (hence no fancy set buttons or alarms etc) - there are other examples on this forum and the net which cover the setting of these things to make a fully functional alarm clock, just use the search function or google :)

[flipper_md]

this is great!

I'm not too sure to understand how you get the Decimal values when reading as STR and then displaying them as HEX2?

also, a bit out of topic but I get a weird error:
symbol not previously defined (ANSELH)
when trying to set ANSEL = 0, to use other ports.
On a 16F876a...
Ever seen that?

Does the 16F876A have an ANSEL or ANSELH register? Some devices use different registers to acomplish similar tasks.

[flipper_md]

that is correct

It's the first time I come accross this but the 16f876a drive those ANalog ports with ADCON and other registers

thanks

just some code correction. as the above was posted 6 months ago. the attachment is the corrected code.

' Dec 18.2010:
' rewrite so that we can adjust the day of the month of OCt, November and December
' please read FindDays to be clear.
' in the FindDays sub, the SetMonth to be in Decimal from 0 to 12.
' code rewrite in the adjustment of the date of the month
' variable Dummy was created

[financecatalyst]

Little confused with BCD to Decimal conversion and vice versa.
Please clarify, if I have 3 variables sec, minu, hrs and want decimal values in them, is the following correct?
AIM: To get the decimal values inside sec (0-59), minu (0-59) & Hrs (0-23)
The first thing my code is doing is resetting DS1307 with the following line of code:

I2CWRITE SDA,SCL,$D0,$00,[$17,$3B,$17,$01,$00,$00,$00,$90]
The above line only executes once only when PIC is powered for the first time only.
As you can see I choose a 24Hr format for my time. I also want to start my time with 23:59:23. I am only interested in hrs,min,sec,day only.
Now if I read back the time:

I2CREAD SDA,SCL,$D1,$00,[STR DB0\8]
and want decimal values in my variables, please guide what is the correct way of doing it as the following is not working


temp=db0[0]
sec =(temp>>4)*10+(temp & $0F)

temp=db0[1]
minu =(temp>>4)*10+(temp & $0F)

temp=db0[2]
hrs=(temp>>4)*10+(temp & $0F)
Lcdout $FE,1,DEC2 sec," : ",DEC2 minu," : ",DEC2 hrs

Thanks Mack, I have seen the code there and tried it as well, but it is giving errors. Also I don't see any variable saving values in Decimal format coming from DS1307 and converting decimal to BCD as well to store in DS1307.

[mackrackit]

This is using a different RTC but it has DEC vars.

Thank you a LOT Malcolm for your owsome code !! i tried on PIC16F628A ( with some modifications [changed the LCD disp with a Serout to my PCTerminal] ).
