Python library for using DS1302 RTC unit with Raspberry Pi.
Depends onWiringPi library.
TODO:
- split C / CPython / Python code
- way to set up RTC pins from Python code
Currently you have to connect RTC unit to the following RPi pins (you can read about RPi pin numberinghere, this library uses wiringPi pin numbering):
- CLK pin (also can be named SCLK) goes to RPi pin 4.
- DAT pin (sometimes it is named I/O) goes to RPi pin 5.
- RST pin goes to RPi pin 6.
There are two ways of using RTC unit from Python code.
Low-level access procedures are implemented inds1302 module.
>>>importds1302>>>ds1302.get_date()(2014,1,20)>>>ds1302.get_time()(15,56,1)>>>ds1302.set_time(14,14,14)>>>ds1302.get_time()(14,14,18)
High-level access procedures are implemented inrpi_time module (this one includes sanity checks for RTC unit and range checks for clock values).
>>>importrpi_time>>>rtc=rpi_time.DS1302()>>>rtc.get_datetime()datetime.datetime(2014,1,20,14,16,27)>>>rtc.set_datetime(datetime(2014,1,20,13,42))True>>>rtc.get_datetime()datetime.datetime(2014,1,20,13,42,2)>>>rtc.reset_clock()>>>rtc.get_datetime()datetime.datetime(2001,1,1,0,0,5)
