Because the virtuabotixRTC library is a community-developed resource, it may not always appear in the default Arduino IDE Library Manager. Follow these manual steps to install it: #include // Creation of the Real Time Clock
Manages seconds, minutes, hours, day of the week, date of the month, month, and year. Automatic leap-year compensation valid up to the year 2100. Automatic leap-year compensation valid up to the year 2100
To install a library manually:
This occurs if you leave the setDS1302Time() command active in your code. Once the time is initially saved to the module's battery-backed memory, that line should be deleted or commented out.
