.. currentmodule:: machine
The RTC is an independent clock that keeps track of the date and time.
Example usage:
rtc = machine.RTC() rtc.datetime((2020, 1, 21, 2, 10, 32, 36, 0)) print(rtc.datetime())
.. method:: RTC.datetime([datetimetuple]) Get or set the date and time of the RTC. With no arguments, this method returns an 8-tuple with the current date and time. With 1 argument (being an 8-tuple) it sets the date and time. The 8-tuple has the following format: (year, month, day, weekday, hours, minutes, seconds, subseconds) The meaning of the ``subseconds`` field is hardware dependent.
.. 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 millisecond 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.
