Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

For geoffg (or anyone)

For the CMM:-

Will TIME$ = TIME$ set the RTC time to that of the CMM's internal clock?

I have done testing & I think it does.

I wish to reset the RTC periodically as an experiment because I think it is running fast. My program gets reset at midnight and loads the RTC time & date.

Thanks

Brian

Yes. To set the time on the attached Maxim DS1307 real time clock you use the standard commands in MMBasic for setting the time (TIME$ and DATE$). These set both the Maximite's internal clock and the DS1307. From then on MMBasic will automatically retrieve the current time and date on power up and set the Maximite's internal clock.

Thanks Geoff.

I normally have MMEdit set the time & date on uploads so rarely use these commands directly.
Had me confused a bit with older documentation which mentions a different chip. Eventually found the correct procedure.
