# Rust PCF8563 Real-Time Clock Driver
A platform agnostic Rust driver for the NXP PCF8563 real-time clock,
based on the [`embedded-hal`] traits.
[`embedded-hal`]: https://github.com/rust-embedded/embedded-hal
Based on this [RTC driver](https://github.com/eldruin/ds1307-rs)
This driver allows you to:
- Read and set date and time. See: `get_datetime` and `set_datetime`
- Set only the time (HH:MM:SS) for clock applications without the calendar function
- Read and set the alarm minutes, hours, day and weekday
- Enable the alarm components separately
- Disable the alarm components separately or all at once
- Set the timer and timer frequency
- Set clock output frequency and enable/disable clock output
- Enable and disable alarm interrupt and timer interrupt
- Read and set various other control functions
### TO DO:
- [x] test with other MCUs
- [ ] add `get_timer_frequency` function
- [ ] add `get_timer_interrupt_mode` function
- [ ] add `get_clkout_frequency` function
- [ ] add ~~an nRF~~ Embassy examples
- [ ] add better tests
[How this driver was ~~won~~ written](https://nebelgrau77.github.io/posts/rust_driver/)
## The device
The PCF8563 is a CMOS Real-Time Clock (RTC) and calendar optimized for low power
consumption. A programmable clock output, interrupt output, and voltage-low detector are also provided. All addresses and data are transferred serially via a two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. Maximum bus speed is 400 kbit/s. The register address is incremented automatically after each written or read data byte.
Provides year, month, day, weekday, hours, minutes, and seconds based on a
32.768 kHz quartz crystal.
* Century flag
* Low backup current
* Programmable clock output for peripheral devices (32.768 kHz, 1.024 kHz, 32 Hz, and
1 Hz)
* Alarm and timer functions
* Open-drain interrupt pin

## Usage
To use this driver, import this crate and an `embedded_hal` implementation,
then instantiate the device.
