.. currentmodule:: machine
.. _machine.RTC:
class RTC -- real time clock
============================
The RTC is and independent clock that keeps track of the date
and time.
Example usage::
rtc = machine.RTC()
rtc.init((2014, 5, 1, 4, 13, 0, 0, 0))
print(rtc.now())
Constructors
------------
.. class:: machine.RTC(id=0, ...)
Create an RTC object. See init for parameters of initialization.
Methods
-------
.. method:: rtc.init(datetime)
Initialise the RTC. Datetime is a tuple of the form:
``(year, month, day[, hour[, minute[, second[, microsecond[, tzinfo]]]]])``
.. method:: rtc.now()
Get get the current datetime tuple.
.. method:: rtc.deinit()
Resets the RTC to the time of January 1, 2015 and starts running it again.
.. method:: rtc.alarm(id, time, /*, repeat=False)
Set the RTC alarm. Time might be either a milllisecond value to program the alarm to
current time + time_in_ms in the future, or a datetimetuple. If the time passed is in
milliseconds, repeat can be set to ``True`` to make the alarm periodic.
.. method:: rtc.alarm_left(alarm_id=0)
Get the number of milliseconds left before the alarm expires.
.. method:: rtc.cancel(alarm_id=0)
Cancel a running alarm.
.. method:: rtc.irq(\*, trigger, handler=None, wake=machine.IDLE)
Create an irq object triggered by a real time clock alarm.
- ``trigger`` must be ``RTC.ALARM0``
- ``handler`` is the function to be called when the callback is triggered.
- ``wake`` specifies the sleep mode from where this interrupt can wake
up the system.
Constants
