How to use
Working With Raspberry Pi
RTC
Open a terminal and run the following command to download the demos.
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full wget https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/b/bd/RTC_WatchDog_HAT.zip 7z x -tzip -y RTC_WatchDog_HAT.zip -o./RTC_WatchDog_HAT sudo chmod 777 -R RTC_WatchDog_HAT cd RTC_WatchDog_HAT/RTC
- C Example
cd ~/RTC_WatchDog_HAT/RTC/c/ make clean make sudo ./main
cd python/examples/ sudo python main.py
Add Kernel Mode Driver
Note that with this method, you cannot use the above sample demo.
Modify /boot/config.txt and add the following commands at the end:
dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds3231
Hwclock is simple to use
Synchronize System Clock -> Hardware Clock.
sudo hwclock -w
Synchronize Hardware Clock -> System Clock.
sudo hwclock -s #Need to close the network or close the network time, otherwise, it will be changed back.
Set the hardware clock time:
sudo hwclock --set --date="9/8/2021 16:45:05"
View the hardware clock.
sudo hwclock -r
Display version information.
sudo hwclock --verbose
WatchDog
In the WatchDog example, it feeds the watchdog chip if the D4 pin toggle. If the watchdog doesn't be feed in T time, it will cut off the power and the voltage falls to 1.25V, in this case, the MAX705 chip will reset and restart the power. About the time T:
T = 0.7*R*C+1.6s
- R is default 5.1M, and C is default 44uF.
- Tge default delay time is 157.08s ±6%.
RC are set in the board:
