MSP430 & RTC (Real Time Clock) Module - DS1302

In this video, we'l learn how to use the RTC (Real Time Clock) Module with the MSP430 Microcontroller. First we'll see the connections between the module and the microcontroller. Then we'll examine the DS1302 timekeeping chip's datasheet to understand its working principle. Then by using Code Composer Studio, we'll write C code in order to set the values on the timekeeping chip. In the second code, we'll read the date and time values repeatedly and controlling an LED by using the values that we receive from the RTC Module. There can be lots of different applications with the RTC Module such as automated tasks in smart homes or in smart farms.
