Set Date&Time NUCLEO-401RE

willow · ‎2024-05-14

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

This video training series is for L4 rather than F4, but should give you an idea:

Hello @willow

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