/* * SyncProvider.ino * example code illustrating time synced from a DCF77 receiver * Thijs Elenbaas, 2012 * This example code is in the public domain. This example shows how to fetch a DCF77 time and synchronize the internal clock. In order for this example to give clear output, make sure that you disable logging from the DCF library. You can do this by commenting out #define VERBOSE_DEBUG 1 in Utils.cpp. */ #include <DCF77.h> //https://github.com/thijse/Arduino-Libraries/downloads #include <Time.h> //http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/Time #define DCF_PIN 2 // Connection pin to DCF 77 device #define DCF_INTERRUPT 0 // Interrupt number associated with pin time_t prevDisplay = 0; // when the digital clock was displayed time_t time; DCF77 DCF = DCF77(DCF_PIN,DCF_INTERRUPT); void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); DCF.Start(); setSyncInterval(30); setSyncProvider(getDCFTime); // It is also possible to directly use DCF.getTime, but this function gives a bit of feedback //setSyncProvider(DCF.getTime); Serial.println("Waiting for DCF77 time ...
