Set Date&Time NUCLEO-401RE

[willow]

Hello everyone, i am working on a software for setting the date and time.

 

The plan is to set the date and tame manually (so no defficulties regarding that) and then continue to increase within the time flies thanks to the RTC of the NUCLEO F401RE. 

 

Do you think that would be possible ? Would it be a simple way to set the date and time, by directly using the RTC with HAL libraries for example ?

 

 

Im thanking you already for your answers,

 

XOXO

Hello @willow 

I suggest you to refer to the following example, it should works on Nucleo-F401RE.

STM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.28.0\Projects\STM32F410xx-Nucleo\Examples\RTC\RTC_Calendar

Best regards,

Romain,

Thank you Romain for your fast answer, is this a STM32 software that i have to download ?

Note that all those resources - and more - can be found via the Product Page for the Nucleo board:

and/or the Product Page for the STM32F401RE MCU on that board:

Top Tip:

The Product Page should always be your starting point when beginning with any new product.

Putting the part number into your favourite internet search engine

eg https://www.google.com/search?q=NUCLEO+F401RE

or https://www.google.com/search?q=STM32F401RE 

should find you the Product Page as (one of) the first hit(s).

This applies to most (all?) manufacturers - not jut ST.
