Hi! I'm using a DS1307 as a RTCC for my design. I need to know the last date of the month & need to display it on the LCD. Does anybody know how to do it in a direct or a indirect method ?

Note:
I'm using MikroC pro & PIC18F45k22

There are software routines that take a given year/month/day, and convert to Julian days. (Astronomers use Julian days to track time.)

If you know what day falls on Jan. 1, then you divide the difference by 7 (or use MODULO command), and the remainder tells you how many days you should add to the day on Jan. 1. And you arrive at your answer.

Thanks for the reply. Can you elaborate your answer and please note that I made a mistake in the previous post. I need the date not the day.
 

Date register address 0x04


Range 01 - 31

BIT7 BIT6 BIT5 BIT4 BIT3 BIT2 BIT1 BIT0


Bits0 to Bits3 = units place
Bits 4 and 5 are tens place
Bits 6 and 7 are always 0


for date 31 you need BD 31

BCD 31 =

0011 0001

You write

11 to bits 4 and 5 and 0001 to bits 0 to 3.

Thanks for the reply. But I want to display the last date of the previous month on the LCD throughout the current month. The problem is some months have 28, 29, 30 or 31 days
 

PHP: 
algo

if month = jan, mar, may, july, aug, oct, dec then

	if date = 31?

		memdata = date

else if month = feb, apr, jun, sep, nov then

	if month = feb then

		if year = leap then

			if date = 28 then

				memdate = date

		else if year not leap

			if date = 29 then
		
				memdate = date


	else if month != feb then

		if date = 30 then

			memdate = date
