So it shouldn't be "automatic" as I was thinking, but rather user-driven, based on a push button (or menu item).<br />Need more thinking :)FlorinChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330573900125042405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523577297508817869.post-13120674491630356322014-07-09T21:47:27.052-04:002014-07-09T21:47:27.052-04:00Nick, this is a very good idea.

(Remember that there is a hardware difference between the chronometer and "regular" Wise Clock, and that is the shunt that connects DS3231's SQW pin to 1284's D2.)<br />Let me think about it, it should be doable. Great idea, thanks!FlorinChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330573900125042405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523577297508817869.post-28070358511418568952014-07-09T21:26:24.778-04:002014-07-09T21:26:24.778-04:00Florin, how easy would it be to select which softw...Florin, how easy would it be to select which software runs on startup? i.e., holding down a button on power-up runs chronometer or wise clock software - or some other selection process? Also, how about displaying the software version on start-up..useful for us who have a few of these beauties....;-)Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162917820546179580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523577297508817869.post-55588989721731112442014-06-22T00:44:25.689-04:002014-06-22T00:44:25.689-04:00Not easy, probably even impossible (for me).
Even ...Not easy, probably even impossible (for me).<br />Even the principle of updating the time is different: Wise Clock 4 relies on polling (reading the RTC and displaying what it gets). This chronometer relies on interrupts: every second, and only once a second, the display gets updated with the time read from RTC. The software for chronometer is much cleaner (and leaner), easy to modify and expand. It is based on a state machine implementation, which can be easily translated in a clear and (human) readable diagram. My next post will probably be on this one.FlorinChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04330573900125042405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523577297508817869.post-75451485732414369662014-06-22T00:28:37.852-04:002014-06-22T00:28:37.852-04:00Does that mean you can't incorporate the chron...Does that mean you can't incorporate the chronometer into the wise clock code?
