ds1307 rtc set time

To set the time using the DS1307 real-time clock (RTC) in C++, follow these steps:

1. Include the Wire library for I2C communication:

#include <Wire.h>

1. Define the DS1307 device address and register addresses:

#define DS1307_ADDRESS 0x68
#define DS1307_TIME_REGISTER 0x00

1. Initialize the communication with the DS1307 RTC:

void setup() {
  Wire.begin();
}

1. Set the time by writing to the relevant registers:

void setDS1307Time(byte second, byte minute, byte hour, byte dayOfWeek, byte dayOfMonth, byte month, byte year) {
  Wire.beginTransmission(DS1307_ADDRESS);
  Wire.write(DS1307_TIME_REGISTER);
  Wire.write(decToBcd(second));
  Wire.write(decToBcd(minute));
  Wire.write(decToBcd(hour));
  Wire.write(decToBcd(dayOfWeek));
  Wire.write(decToBcd(dayOfMonth));
  Wire.write(decToBcd(month));
  Wire.write(decToBcd(year));
  Wire.endTransmission();
}

1. Convert decimal numbers to binary-coded decimal (BCD) format:

byte decToBcd(byte val) {
  return ((val / 10 * 16) + (val % 10));
}

1. Call the setDS1307Time function with the desired time values:

void loop() {
  setDS1307Time(30, 15, 12, 4, 10, 12, 23);
  delay(1000);
}

1. The above example sets the time to 12:15:30 on the 4th day of the week, 10th day of the month, December, 2023.

2. Ensure proper error handling and validation for real-world applications.
