Not sure how well this will work:
Code: Select all
dec = (bcd >> 4) * 10 + (bcd & 15)

Hi Martin / John
I've tested the code after I did some reading and my onboard RTCC is running at last. Thanks for the help.

Hi Desdewit,
Glad it's working for you.
If the code that worked was different to what I posted, would you mind posting it please, to help others that may be faced with the same issue.
Or was it the code I posted you used?

Hi Martin
The code you posted worked but I will post a basic program for the onboard rtc over the weekend.
