Biggest one was automatic DST adjustment and support for all US (and soon world) time zones.<\/p>\n<p>However at some point I realized that new code can be made compatible with Xronos 2.1!<\/p>\n<p>So I made yet another rewrite and finally was able to make firmware that with\u00a0few adjustments can be loaded onto Xronos Clock V2.1 as well as upcoming V3!<\/p>\n<p>Here are main improvements\u00a0of new program:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Supports both DS3231 and DS1307 RTCs chips<\/li>\n<li>DST and all US Timezones are now supported<\/li>\n<li>Supports both RFM12b and RFM69w Trancievers (although RFM69w can cause clock to lock up due to SPI conflic with SD library)<\/li>\n<li>Radio settings (such as frequency, node IDs, etc.) can now be changed in Setup menu<\/li>\n<li>Most definitions moved to xronos3.h file for cleaner look<\/li>\n<li>TH02 temperature and humidity internal sensor now supported<\/li>\n<li>Button logic was rewritten, holding INCR button for 2 seconds will activate accelerated incremental changes in settings of the time, alarm, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beta version of this code is available at my <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/lensdigital\/xronos-clock\/tree\/master\/V3\">GitHub repository<\/a>. \u00a0Feel free to try it and <a href=\"http:\/\/xronosclock.com\/home\/?page_id=86\">let me know<\/a> if you see any issues!<\/p>\n<p>There are just few things that you need to know before using it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you plan to use Arduino IDE to upload code, you will need to use version 1.6.10 (or later). I&#8217;ve tested it in 1.6.5 and it doesn&#8217;t compile.<\/li>\n<li>If you just want to upload .hex firmware, you will need AVRude 6.3 (or later). It comes with Arduino 1.6.10<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0You must download latest Time library (DS1307). Old one doesn&#8217;t work with Arduino 1.6.10, plus new one supports both DS1307 and DS3231 RTC chips.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/JChristensen\/Timezone\">Timezone library <\/a>is also required.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s very important that you Initialize EEPROM with default settings to load all timezones. You can do it from System Menu (Reset Flash).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been working hard on Xronos Clock 3.0 for almost a year and while I&#8217;m not ready to release hardware [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4461,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/xronosclock.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/xronosclock.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/xronosclock.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/xronosclock.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/xronosclock.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4460"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/xronosclock.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4460\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4463,"href":"http:\/\/xronosclock.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4460\/revisions\/4463"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/xronosclock.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/xronosclock.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/xronosclock.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/xronosclock.com\/home\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
