Adafruit Light-and-Temp-logger with file timestamps

[fat16lib]

Here is a modified version of the Data Logging Shield example, lighttemplogger.pde, that will set the file creation date and time on logfiles.

neat thanks!

Perfect Thanks.... Works like a charm.

Hmmm,
When I use this code example, each log file still resets to 1/1/2000 1:00AM
I am using the example exactly "as is" in Arduino22.
Is it possible to easily explain where the code resets the RTC?

That code does not reset the RTC. It connects to it here:

Code: Select all

  // connect to RTC
  Wire.begin();
  if (!RTC.begin()) {
    error("RTC failed");
  }


If you do not see the "RTC failed" then it has successfully connected. If your RTC is not running, it will be stuck at the default time 1/1/2000 1:00AM, you need to run one of the examples from the RTCLib to initialize it and adjust it to your computer time.
