RTC Overview

This wiki introduces how to use the built-in RTC functionality inside the SAMD51 core within Wio Terminal for you to keep track of time. This feature saves you from adding an external RTC module to the system!

Installing the Seeed_Arduino_RTC Library For Wio Terminal

  1. Visit the Seeed_Arduino_RTC repositories and download the entire repo to your local drive.

  2. Now, the Seeed_Arduino_RTC can be installed to the Arduino IDE. Open the Arduino IDE, and click sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library, and choose the Seeed_Arduino_RTC file that you've have just downloaded.

InstallLibrary

Example Code

THe following code is the basic usage of the RTC library for SAMD51:

For more API reference, please check here

#include "RTC_SAMD51.h"
#include "DateTime.h"

RTC_SAMD51 rtc;
void setup()
{
rtc.begin();

Serial.begin(115200);

while (!Serial)
{
;
}

DateTime now = DateTime(F(__DATE__), F(__TIME__));
Serial.println("adjust time!");
rtc.adjust(now);

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();

DateTime alarm = DateTime(now.year(), now.month(), now.day(), now.hour(), now.minute(), now.second() + 15);

rtc.setAlarm(0,alarm); // match after 15 seconds
rtc.enableAlarm(0, rtc.MATCH_HHMMSS); // match Every Day

rtc.attachInterrupt(alarmMatch); // callback whlie alarm is match

}

void loop()
{
}

void alarmMatch(uint32_t flag)
{

Serial.println("Alarm Match!");
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();
}

Advanced RTC Usage

You may also use NTP to get the time for the RTC.
