FEZ Real Time Clock – Setting the Time Example

This code example demonstrates how to set the time with the RTC (real time clock) on a GHI Electronics FEZ board that supports this function.

This code is written in C# and assumes the development workstation has all required software installed.

using System;
using System.Threading
 
using Microsoft.SPOT;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        // setting time to 12/1/2011 at 0:00:00
        DateTime time = new DateTime(2011, 12, 1, 0, 0, 0);
        Utility.SetLocalTime(time);
        while (true)
        {
            Debug.Print(DateTime.Now.ToString());
            Thread.Sleep(1000);
        }
    }
}
