Ds3231 HelloWorld example not properly working #27

Closed Fusionlight13 closed 11 months ago

Fusionlight13 commented 11 months ago

I just imported this library for the first time and started the basic HelloWorld script. When I run it and answer the first two prompts, I get two more prompts consecutively. I try to answer them all separately but the loop just goes back to the first day of month input.

Ensure you are entering in exactly the format specified by the prompt (ie, for day enter 09 not 9). Set line ending to Newline

Code for the prompts is here: https://github.com/sleemanj/DS3231_Simple/blob/975662b34fed8b081bf1bd805bfd4081992864cb/DS3231_Simple.cpp#L743

Unfortunately I could not get it to work. I padded the numbers and made sure I put it in correctly several times but still It skips input. The baud rate is right and its set to newline. Tried installing it a second time but the results are the same.

I would suggest you may actually have a hardware issue which is causing a reset.

After the Serial.begin line, add 

Serial.println("Starting Up...");

I ran the SetDateTime sketch and it seems to work fine. It's remembering it when I restart it with the clock. write() line deleted. It's very strange. I guess I just have to set it manually without the Clock.promptForTimeAndDate() method.
