DS3231

Postby sprinkfitter » Thu Nov 23, 2017 12:20 am

I have a Ds3231 on my esp32 by i2c. I want to put 2 relays and control them by my DS3231. My clock displays the correct time by serial port. How do I set up tripping my relays by the clock time? Starting to like this chip a lot. Thank You for all the help

You're probably not getting any response because you're asking a really broad question without expaining what you want and/or already tried yourself. Can you at the very least tell us which methods you already tried and why they didn't work?

Sorry very new to the forum. Very new to the board and very new to the Ardinuo. IDE. I have search the web looking for a library that works with the rtc and esp32. I want to trip these relays by time like (24 hour) On at 6 hour off at 12 hour for the first relay and on 13 and off 20 for the second relay. Very new been using relay with delay and that's it. Thanks for taking the time to read my post

Okay, so you now have a function that can return the current time. (I assume it works fine.) Could you wager a guess on how you could make an alarm out of this? As in, without coding anything, just describing the process, what would you need to do?

Your idea is good, but the way you structure your code is bad. I suggest you copy the beginning of displayTime, and then check the hours and minutes variable after that.
