Library !full! — Virtuabotixrtch Arduino

The setDS1302Time function must be run once to initialize the clock. If the module has a battery, it will maintain this time.

If your module has separate DS and SCLK pins (common on old DS1302 modules), do not use VirtuabotixRTC. That library is for I2C modules only (DS1307/3231). For DS1302, you need the DS1302 library. virtuabotixrtch arduino library

Unlike higher-abstraction libraries that hide register-level operations, VirtuabotixRTCH offers a transparent, function-rich API that feels like natural Arduino code. The setDS1302Time function must be run once to

// Wait 1 second before reading again delay(1000); That library is for I2C modules only (DS1307/3231)

: Unlike some libraries that require complex structures, you can access time components directly (e.g., myRTC.seconds myRTC.minutes ) after calling updateTime() Getting Started

This is your most important function. It reads the current time from the RTC chip and stores it in the myRTC object's variables.
