Guys,

I want to set starting time and stopping time with RTC,
Shall I use eeprom for it ?
How to compare between internal eeprom and RTC ?

any clues or ideas ?
thanks
 

u can use Interrupt from RTC for that time or u can just continous check it in while loop.and if u want to retain the compar value after power is off then u have to use EEPROM.

I see, is it possible for me using UTC ? convert RTC to UTC save to eeprom and compare the content of EEPROM with current RTC ?

If the time which you have to compare with RTC time is not changed but fixed like 16:45:26 then you can hardcode it. The value will be in a variable. If uC resets the variable will be initialized again with that value which can be compared in while(1) loop.
 

for added simplicity, in starting you can read the EEPROM values and put in alarm flags or you can update them in while loop if you need it dynamically...
 

how can I save the value from RTC, for example I want to set on at 16:05:05 and off at 19:01:43 ?
