clock will be off by that amount of time.

Then open up the Serial monitor window to show that the time has been set

Reading the time

Now that the RTC is merrily ticking away, we'll want to query it for the time. Let's look at the

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(" (");
