Detailed Description

Time functions.

Functions dealing with time.


Function Documentation

void delay_ms int  ms  ) 
 

Delay execution for the specified time.

Delays for the specified number of milliseconds. The accuracy of this function is unknown.

Parameters:
ms the number of milliseconds to delay for

int rtc_get void   ) 
 

Get the value of the realtime clock.

Returns the time elapsed in seconds since the last call to rtc_init or rtc_reset.

Returns:
the number of seconds since the last call to rtc_init or rtc_reset

rtc_init, rtc_reset

void rtc_init int  prescale_opt,
void(*)(void)  rtc_func
 

Enable the realtime clock.

Initializes the real time clock. Prescales are defined in time.h. For example, SECOND will give 1 second. The specified function is called every clock tick. For the real time clock to activate, interrupts must be enabled. (through sei() )

Parameters:
prescale_opt the period with which the timer is triggered
rtc_func the function called when the timer is triggered
See also:
rtc_get, rtc_reset

void rtc_reset void   ) 
 

Reset the counter of the realtime clock.

Resets the real time clock counter to 0.
