A platform-agnostic Rust driver for the DS3231 Real-Time Clock, built on the `embedded-hal` ecosystem.
The DS3231 is a low-cost, extremely accurate I²C real-time clock (RTC) with an integrated
temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO).
- Both blocking and async I²C operation support
- Full register access (time/date, alarms, control, status)
- Optional logging support via `log` or `defmt`
- No `unsafe` code
- Comprehensive error handling
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
ds3231 = "0.3.0"
```
### Blocking Example
```rust
use ds3231::{DS3231, Config, TimeRepresentation, SquareWaveFrequency, InterruptControl, Oscillator};
// Create configuration
let config = Config {
time_representation: TimeRepresentation::TwentyFourHour,
square_wave_frequency: SquareWaveFrequency::Hz1,
interrupt_control: InterruptControl::SquareWave,
battery_backed_square_wave: false,
oscillator_enable: Oscillator::Enabled,
};
// Initialize device with I2C
let mut rtc = DS3231::new(i2c, 0x68);
// Configure the device
rtc.configure(&config)?;
// Get current date/time
let datetime = rtc.datetime()?;
```
### Async Example
Enable the async feature in your `Cargo.toml` and use with async/await:
```rust
use ds3231::asynch::DS3231;
// Initialize device
let mut rtc = DS3231::new(i2c, 0x68);
// Configure asynchronously
rtc.configure(&config).await?;
// Get current date/time asynchronously
let datetime = rtc.datetime().await?;
```
## Features
The crate can be compiled with the following features:
- `async`: Enables async I²C support
- `log`: Enables logging via the `log` crate
- `defmt`: Enables logging via the `defmt` crate
- `temperature_f32` - Enables temperature reading as f32
