Meadow.Foundation.Grove.RTCs.RTC 2.1.0.2-beta

Meadow.Foundation.Grove.RTCs.RTC

Grove I2C real time clock (DS1307)

The RTC library is included in the Meadow.Foundation.Grove.RTCs.RTC nuget package and is designed for the Wilderness Labs Meadow .NET IoT platform.

This driver is part of the Meadow.Foundation peripherals library, an open-source repository of drivers and libraries that streamline and simplify adding hardware to your C# .NET Meadow IoT applications.

Installation

You can install the library from within Visual studio using the the NuGet Package Manager or from the command line using the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Meadow.Foundation.Grove.RTCs.RTC

Usage

RTC rtc;

public override Task Initialize()
{
    Resolver.Log.Info("Initialize...");

    rtc = new RTC(Device.CreateI2cBus());

    return Task.CompletedTask;
}

public override Task Run()
{
    var running = rtc.IsRunning;

    Resolver.Log.Info($"{(running ? "is running" : "is not running")}");

    if (!running)
    {
        Resolver.Log.Info(" Starting RTC...");
        rtc.IsRunning = true;
    }

    var dateTime = rtc.GetTime();
    Resolver.Log.Info($" RTC current time is: {dateTime:MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss}");

    Resolver.Log.Info($" Setting RTC to : {dateTime:MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss}");
    dateTime = new DateTime(2030, 2, 15);
    rtc.SetTime(dateTime);

    dateTime = rtc.GetTime();
    Resolver.Log.Info($" RTC current time is: {dateTime:MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss}");

    var rand = new Random();

    var data = new byte[56];

    for (int i = 0; i < 56; i++)
    {
        data[i] = (byte)rand.Next(256);
    }

    Resolver.Log.Info($" Writing to RTC RAM   : {BitConverter.ToString(data)}");
    rtc.WriteRAM(0, data);
    Resolver.Log.Info($" Reading from RTC RAM : ");
    data = rtc.ReadRAM(0, 56);
    Resolver.Log.Info(BitConverter.ToString(data));

    return Task.CompletedTask;
}
