UNIX Timestamp

[TCB13]

Hello,

Are there any plans to implement a method that will output a UNIX timestamp as an int? This would be very helpful since using timestamps is way easier than full dates.

Thank you.

Not really. There're other mature projects for doing so in library manager, like TimeLib: https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/Time

I was trying to avoid TimeLib because of its size. Having it builtin into uRTCLib was probably just a few lines of code without much impact on this library and a huge upside.

I've seen how Adafruit does it; do you think it could be interesting?

Hello,

If we're talking about https://github.com/adafruit/RTClib/blob/master/src/RTClib.cpp#L568 and https://github.com/adafruit/RTClib/blob/master/src/RTClib.cpp#L129 that's interesting.

Thank you.

Done! https://github.com/Naguissa/uUnixDate

I'm requesting IDE insertion right now, may be in few days.

@Naguissa thank you for the new lib!
