RTC 07: Set Waspmote Date
This example permits to set Time and Date in Waspmote's RTC very easily via USB port. There is an interface which asks the user to introduce the Date and Time as specified without any need to change this code.
Required Materials
1 x Waspmote 1 x MiniUSB wire 1 x Battery
Notes
-Remember not to remove the Battery from Waspmote so as not to lose the Time and Date set. The RTC remains powered through the battery. So, in the case it is removed, the RTC registers will be cleared. -This example can be executed in Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15
