Datasheet

From now on, you wont have to ever set the time again: the battery will last 5 or more years

Reading the time

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

sketch again to see how this is done

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(' ');

Serial.print(now.hour(), DEC);

Serial.print(':');

Serial.print(now.minute(), DEC);

Serial.print(':');

Serial.print(now.second(), DEC);

Serial.println();
