Time.h for 8Bit PIC

[tiny]

Hello everyone,

is there a way to get a Time.h as in PIC16? It would greatly simplify my programs.

Hi Tiny

if you mean

#include Time.h

Build -> Project Options -> "Checkbox Use supplementary Code" -> Button Supplementary Code
-> on Top Definitions and functions
-> on Bottom Function

perhabs this helps too:

btw: have you seen in your PM post :-

Hi Rudi,

I have now just read the PM. Many Thanks for your suggestions and the Example file.
As a file.h is involved, I know, but from where I get such a Time.h? The file from the directory PIC16 interrupts when compiling with an error message.

But anyway, I'm going to now look at the Example1.fcfx!

Thank you again!

Hi Tiny,

have a look to this:

http://glibc.sourcearchive.com/document ... ce333.html

http://glibc.sourcearchive.com/document ... ource.html

and if you programm AVR too, perhabs you can build a personaly Time.h

This Thread from 2012 is given little Info and how own function can build

Hope this helps and you can go on in this

Best wishes

.................................

PIC microcontrollers have no inherent Real Time Clock in them,
unlike PC's. If want a RTC or elapsed time function, you'll have to
add a RTC chip, such as the DS1307.

!!..

If you just want to get the elapsed time since the PIC was powered up,
you could use a clock derived from the PIC's crystal frequency to
run one of the PIC's timers, and count elapsed seconds (or minutes, etc.).
Accuracy might not be perfect over a long period of time, because
microprocessor crystals have larger tolerances than RTC crystals.
(Though you could pay more, to get higher accuracy).
..!!



perhabs this a thrd option for you ?

Thanks for the great help. In this forum you are really in good hands!
I have already implemented a RTC, but your Example also looks very much of promise! 'm just by working on.

Thank you again!
