This is the final chapter that deals with a Real-Time Clock and Calendar, that is, the RTCC program. This time, we are going to look at the module that comes with the PIC32. This PIC has an internal module that provides you with all the aspects you would want from an RTCC system. It can be used to provide you with everything you need to create a complete calendar and alarm system. It only requires an external crystal oscillator that provides the 32.768kHz signal that synchronizes the RTCC.
