Download Ds3231 Library Arduino

I do have a whole library of I2C functions written in C for other MPU's, I was just trying to find a library that incorporated everything i need at present, without having to rewrite it all for the Arduino.

In Library Manager, you can click the "More info" link for each library. Usually that will take you to its GitHub repository. That will provide you with a lot of good information in addition to the documentation groundFungus recommended looking for to evaluate the library.

The first place to look for documentation is the readme file, which is displayed at the bottom of the home page of the repository. A less obvious location where documentation can sometimes be found is at the "Wiki" link near the top of the repository home page. Unfortunately, this feature is enabled by default by GitHub but many library authors don't use the feature but also don't make the tiny effort to turn it off. So don't be surprised if clicking on the Wiki link does nothing or just gives you an empty Wiki.

Although this information can be helpful, there is no simple equation for determining the best library. A simple library written without any bugs might have only a single commit and have no reason for anyone to submit an issue or Pull Request. A relatively new high quality library will have had less time to accumulate stars and forks than an older library of inferior quality.

For the RTC library, we'll be using a fork of JeeLab's excellent RTC library RTClib - a library for getting and setting time from an RTC (originally written by JeeLab, our version is slightly different so please only use ours to make sure its compatible!)

So once we download and install the library we can use its first demo example to initially activate the clock of the RTC module. In the setup section of the demo example code we can notice that there are three line that we need to uncomment in order to initially set the day of the week, the time and the data.

Hi, please I want to ask you. I have an arduino project with RTC ds3132 and LCD. I want to display in LCD only the time. is it possible to use the same programming that you use in this video of arduino and DS3231 real time clock

This library has been made to easily interface and use the DS3231 RTC with an Arduino or chipKit. The library will also work with the DS3232 RTC chip but you will not be able to use the internal SRAM.

The library has not been tested in combination with the Wire library and I have no idea if they can share pins. Do not send me any questions about this. If you experience problems with pin-sharing you can move the DS3231/DS3232 SDA and SCL pins to any available pins on your development board. This library will in this case fall back to a software-based, TWI-/I2C-like protocol which will require exclusive access to the pins used.

Well, I have found a way without switch-case, everything works fine. Btw this library a little bit sucks, I mean it is really simple to use, but there are many methods missing compared to other libraries (getDOW, getHour, getMinute...).

When I attempt to run the following program (I am not the author of this code, as it is directly taken from the page I linked above), I am met with an error that seems to be a result of missing a key library.

I'm following a tutorial found here to try and set up a temperature log. This is really my first arduino project and first time coding (outside of MATLAB). I've connected everything, but the code in the article will not compile for him.

The sketch begins by including the Arduino.h and uRTCLib.h libraries for communicating with the module. We then create an uRTCLib library object and define the daysOfTheWeek 2D character array to store the days information.

I have also added another sketch to my Github repository DS3231-_RTClib-Adafruit-Alarm-SetTest. It is based on the example that now comes with the library. I made it just so that I could test setAlarm times. It monitors the SQW pin and simply displays the current time and then when the alarm is triggered it displays the time it was triggered.

It first includes the Wire library, which is used for I2C bus communication, followed by defining the bus address for the RTC as 0x68. These are followed by two functions that convert decimal numbers to BCD (binary-coded decimal) and vice versa. These are necessary as the RTC ICs work in BCD not decimal.

This is the exact same setup as the DS1307, a small problem with the DS3231 board is its hard to see which contact is SDA, but I did this drawing to make it easier for you (and me to look back at). So once you have wired it up(and double checked ground and 5V {trust me do it}). So lets try the basic 1307 reading by the wire library code:

Im currently stuck with the DS3231 (zs-042) chip. I found online a lot of library issues, i tried usingmultiple libraries (Rinky-Dink, ds3231-master) but nothing works. I found a simple code online to test the chip but when I upload it the following error shows up: "no matching function for call to 'DS3231::DS3231(const uint8_t&, const uint8_t&)"

On the left is the current DS3231 Library which I added through the arduino library manager. Its not the same as the one the right, it should be, but its not, copy the files from the unzipped DS32321 library into the Arduino/library/DS3231.

NOTE: If you try powering the entire breakout board from a digital pin, you are essentially turning the onboard SDA & SCL resistors into pulldown resistors and these fight against the Atmels internal pullup resistors on the 328 that get enabled by default in the two wire library. For details on how to fix that problem, check out this post on the Arduino playground: DS3231 drawing 200+A through SDA/SCL Also note that I had to go all the way to (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\libraries\wire\utility to find the twi library on my machine, but if you power your DS3231 by lifting the pin from the board like I do, the library edit does not change the sleep current.

hi, thanks for the article. A few questions for you. When the DS3231 module is in timekeeping mode , does INT line still work (assuming it is pulled high elsewhere and not Vcc as described in the spec sheet)

We are trying to see if it is possible to use the interrupt line to turn on microcontroller (arduino)

while ds3231 is in timekeeping mode.

great, thanks. Have you seen this other design where a p mosfet is used in conjunction to the low interrupt line to power on/off arduino : -on-arduino-with-rtc-alarm (the first answer, he uses an ds1305, but same functionality)

If you do not remove the I2C resistor block from the breakout, you have a 4.7k pullup on the SQW line that is soldered on rtc board. However I had forgotten that I was also applying the arduino internal pullups in the code, because my early loggers used a tiny duino stack and I had lifted the lines from their I2C light sensor board. This required me to remove that resistor block or have too much I2C pullup (thus also removing the SQW pullup resistor from the rtc, because its in the same block). So I had belt&suspenders there, because I had forgotten about the cruft in my old scripts. Does not seem to be hurting the functionality as those alarms are still working. But does it hurt to have a physical pullup, and an internal Arduino pullup on SQW at the same time?

So I have a real quandary. I am using this module. AS it comes from ebay. I can set the clock, and read the clock. I have an LCD display running, as well as monitoring it with the serial port.

I have installed CR2032 batteries in these. When I disconnect the arduino from the computer of course it kills the power to the rtc. When I plug it back in, the code runs, and the time it reports was the programmed time when I programmed it.

So say I programmed it Thursday. Saturday night I unplug the arduino from the PC and plug it back in. It comes up with thursday as the current date, and the original time. That is, when the power is removed from the arduino, killing the 5v supply to the clock board, the clock stops timing, though it DOES remember the original time. How do I fix this, so that I can remove the clock, and reattach it later, or have the power be turned off on the arduino, and still have the clock in counting mode.

Is this a flaw in the 3231, or a screwup with some bit that is not being set correctly?

I am doing just another temperature logger for fun. I use chinese ZS-042 RTC module and arduino nano, later mini. Rather than download sketch from internet, I code it on my own, as opportunity to dive little bit more in arduino coding/developing. While I was searching some information about RTC, I was several times pointed to this article, so I guess, it must be one of your entry point to your blog :). Did not look much around at first, while coding something, later during next visits, I realized, that your blog is full of very valuable information, ideas and stories. I think, it will take me while to read them backward ? Thanks for sharing!

Changing that from the default 1 to some other number should reprogram the alarm time. For that simple version, you only have the option of 1-60 minutes, though the library supports seconds as well. If you change that define, and the alarm time is not changing, then there could be problem with the line that actually sets the alarm at:

1) Need to remove the charging system or need only to solder the Schottky ?

2) Removing the LED instead of resistor is the same? (1)

3) Removing the 4 resistor block, does it solved the POWER_PIN way? (known issue, if is powered from batteries the arduino never wakes up)

Otherwise the RTC will not generate alarms from the coincell. Pop over to my page on How to Configure I2C Sensors to see how to set just that single bit in the register, if your library does not support that feature. With the funtions I describe there you could enable BBSE with:
