NAME

Device::Chip::DS1307 - chip driver for a DS1307

DESCRIPTION

This Device::Chip subclass provides specific communication to a Maxim Integrated DS1307 chip attached to a computer via an I²C adapter.

METHODS

The following methods documented in an await expression return Future instances.

read_FIELD

   $sec  = await $ds->read_seconds;
   $min  = await $ds->read_minutes;
   $hr   = await $ds->read_hours;
   $wday = await $ds->read_wday;
   $mday = await $ds->read_mday;
   $mon  = await $ds->read_month;
   $year = await $ds->read_year;

Reads a timekeeping field and returns a decimal integer. The following fields are recognised:

The hours field is always returned in 24-hour mode, even if the chip is in 12-hour ("AM/PM") mode.

write_FIELD

   await $ds->write_seconds( $sec  );
   await $ds->write_minutes( $min  );
   await $ds->write_hours  ( $hr   );
   await $ds->write_wday   ( $wday );
   await $ds->write_mday   ( $mday );
   await $ds->write_month  ( $mon  );
   await $ds->write_year   ( $year );

Writes a timekeeping field as a decimal integer. The following fields are recognised:

The hours field is always written back in 24-hour mode.

read_time

   @tm = await $ds->read_time;

Returns a 7-element struct tm-compatible list of values by reading the timekeeping registers, suitable for passing to POSIX::mktime, etc... Note that the returned list does not contain the yday or is_dst fields.

Because the DS1307 only stores a 2-digit year number, the year is presumed to be in the range 2000-2099.

This method presumes POSIX-compatible semantics for the wday field stored on the chip; i.e. that 0 is Sunday.

This method performs an atomic reading of all the timekeeping registers as a single I²C transaction, so is preferrable to invoking multiple calls to individual read methods.

write_time

   await $ds->write_time( @tm );

Writes the timekeeping registers from a 7-element struct tm-compatible list of values. This method ignores the yday and is_dst fields, if present.

Because the DS1307 only stores a 2-digit year number, the year must be in the range 2000-2099 (i.e. numerical values of 100 to 199).

This method performs an atomic writing of all the timekeeping registers as a single I²C transaction, so is preferrable to invoking multiple calls to individual write methods.
