It should be at least partially integrated with functions similar to the 41 Time Module. Free42 has implementations of ADATE, ATIME, ATIME24, CLK12, CLK24, DATE, DATE+, DDAYS, DMY, DOW, MDY, and TIME, and all they'd have to do to make DATE and TIME work is provide a glue function to read the real-time clock; the other 10 functions require no hardware support.

Free42 does not implement alarms, the stopwatch, or live clock display. If Michael and David have added those functions, too, I'd be happy to adopt that logic in the main Free42 code base. :-)

Hi Thomas,

the functions available in Free42 do their job in the DM42P also. Missing in the prototype so far is SETIME and SETDATE. That of course needs to be implemented, as the RTC doesn't know the time itself.
