    Unhappy enabling trickle charging

    this is a very belated response to shahidali55.

    I've added a tiny bit of code to "ds1302_user_interface.txt" to enable trickle charging. This is a small feat, but helped me understand how the register addressing and definitions are used.

    edit: I'm using a 5v 0.47f supercap which doesn't need diodes or resistors, so "trickledef" below uses a bit sequence 1010 (for TCS) 00 (for DS) and 00 (for RS), see page 7 of the DS1302 datasheet for other options

    cheers,
    Tobie

    ==========================

    'additional variables
    writechrg var byte
    tricklereg var byte
    writechrg = $91 'Write Command for the trickle register
    trickledef = $A0 'definition for a supercap which uses no diodes or resistors

    ' this goes in the "setup" subroutine, not as the statement first or last though
    reg_adr = writechrg
    outbyte = tricklereg
    gosub w_out
