First we will setup the date and time to the RTC module.
- Download the RTC module library from this link.
- Add the library to the Arduino IDE.
- Connect the coin cell to the RTC module.
- Connect SDA to UNO's A4, SCL to UNO's A5, VCC to UNO's 5v and GND to UNO's GND.
- Open the code present at program-code/code-to-set-date-time/code-to-set-date-time.ino.
- Edit according to the comments present in the code.
- Run it to set the date and time.
Note: Run the program only once. This code sets the date and time to the RTC module.
Now, we will install Adafruit OLED library and run the clock code.
- Install Adafruit GFX library and Adafruit SSD1306 library from manage libraries.
- Edit the code present at program-code/clock-code/clock-code.ino to set the birthday date.
- Run the above code to start the clock.
