Alarm Clock code and scematic

[Ioannis]

Thanks Ioannis, for the nice words , what is the newer cheaper ic called?

For example PIC16F1516 that costs 4 times less with much more goodies! There are many many more with better price and more peripherals.

The RTC crystal is absolutely necessary. The SYSTEM crystal is not. You can use the internal RC clock just fine.
