This project demonstrates the basics of using the MJD component "mjd_ds3231" for the following RTC Real Time Clock boards:
- The blue circular ChronoDot V2 PCB Real Time Clock Module.
- The blue rectangular large ZS042 DS3231 RTC Real Time Clock Module.
- The black smaller model (with yellow capacitor) for Raspberry Pi RTC Real Time Clock Module.
Use this project to get insights in how to use this component.
Goto the subdirectory "components/mjd_ds3231" for installation/wiring/usage instructions, data sheets, FAQ, photo's, etc. for the hardware and software.
- A decent ESP development board. I suggest to buy a popular development board with good technical documentation and a significant user base. Examples: Adafruit HUZZAH32, Espressif ESP32-DevKitC, Pycom WiPy, Wemos D32.
- The peripherals that are used in the project. @tip The README of each component contains a section "Shop Products". @example A Bosch BME280 meteo sensor breakout board.
- A working installation of the Espressif ESP-IDF V3.2 development framework** (detailed instructions @ http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/get-started/index.html).
mkdir ~/esp
cd ~/esp
git clone -b v3.2 --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git esp-idf-v3.2
- A C language editor or the Eclipse IDE CDT (instructions also @ http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/get-started/index.html).
cd ~/esp32_ds3231_clock_using_lib
make menuconfig
make flash monitor
Do you also want to create innovative IoT projects that use the ESP32 chip, or ESP32-based modules, of the popular company Espressif? Well, I did and still do. And I hope you do too.
The objective of this well documented Starter Kit is to accelerate the development of your IoT projects for ESP32 hardware using the ESP-IDF framework from Espressif and get inspired what kind of apps you can build for ESP32 using various hardware modules.
