How to connect STM32F429I-DISC1 board to DS1307 using I2C

On the STM32F429 board, there is one I2c extension connector. This connector has eight pins. Which is used to connect to other I2C peripherals such as RTC, EEPROM and other microcontrollers etc.

DS1307 connected to I2C

In the hardware schematics, it is labelled as ACP/RF E2P connector.

The I2C3 SDA and SCL lines are pulled up via a 4.7 k ohm resistor to VCC 3.3V.

This is the basic code that I used to set/get the data in/from the DS1307 via I2c.

/* USER CODE BEGIN 4 */
struct Time{
	  uint8_t sec;
	  uint8_t min;
	  uint8_t hour;
	  uint8_t weekday;
	  uint8_t day;
	  uint8_t month;
	  uint8_t year;
	  };

/* USER CODE END 4 */

/* USER CODE BEGIN Header_StartDefaultTask */
/**
  * @brief  Function implementing the defaultTask thread.
  * @param  argument: Not used
  * @retval None
  */
/* USER CODE END Header_StartDefaultTask */
void StartDefaultTask(void const * argument)
{
  /* init code for USB_HOST */
  MX_USB_HOST_Init();
  /* USER CODE BEGIN 5 */
 char buff[30];
  uint8_t *ptr1;
  uint8_t *ptr2;
  ptr2 = (uint8_t *)buff;

  struct Time Set_time,Get_Time;

  Set_time.sec = 0;
  Set_time.min = 0;
  Set_time.hour = 0;
  Set_time.day = 0;
  Set_time.month = 04;
  Set_time.year = 0;
  Set_time.weekday = 0;

  HAL_I2C_Mem_Write(&hi2c3, 0xd0, 0, 1,&Set_time.sec, 7, 1000);



  /* Infinite loop */
  for(;;)
  {
	 
	  HAL_I2C_Mem_Read(&hi2c3, 0xD1, 0, 1, &Get_Time.sec, 7, 1000);
    osDelay(1000);
    ptr1 = (uint8_t *)"Hello\n";
    HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1, ptr1, 6, 1000);
    sprintf(buff,"%02x:%02x:%02x - %02x - %02x/%02x/%02x \n",
    		Get_Time.hour,
			Get_Time.min,
			Get_Time.sec,
			Get_Time.weekday,
			Get_Time.day,
			Get_Time.month,
			Get_Time.year);
    HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1, ptr2,26, 1000);
  }
  /* USER CODE END 5 */
}

In this code, I created a structure for the time, weekday and date. Which is similar to the internal registers of DS1307.

The Structure then creates two instances called set_time and Get_time. The Set_time object is filled with the values and then its location is transfered to the HAL_I2C_Mem_Write function. Which sends this data through polling to the DS1307.

Similarly the Get_time structure is used to retrieve the data from the DS1307 using the HAL_I2C_Mem_Read function. Which reads 7 bytes from the DS1307.

The retrieved time and date are then sent via the UART to display on a terminal.

How to use AT24C32 EEPROM with ATmega328PB in Microchip Studio

AT24C32 is an i2c compatible serial EEPROM which can be programmed using a microcontroller.

The AT24C32 provides 32,768 bits of serial electrically erasable and programmable
read-only memory (EEPROM). The device’s cascadable feature allows up to 8 devices to share a common 2-
wire bus. The device is optimized for use in many industrial and commercial applications
where low power and low voltage operation are essential. The AT24C32/64 is
available in space-saving 8-pin JEDEC PDIP, 8-pin JEDEC SOIC, 8-pin EIAJ SOIC,
and 8-pin TSSOP (AT24C64) packages and is accessed via a 2-wire serial interface.
In addition, the entire family is available in 2.7V (2.7V to 5.5V) and 1.8V (1.8V to 5.5V)
versions.

How to use DS1307 RTC with ATmega328PB via I2C in Microchip Studio

The DS1307 Real Time Clock uses I2c communication lines to connect with the microcontroller.

I2C uses two lines commonly known as Serial Data/Address or SDA and Serial Clock Line or SCL. The two lines SDA and SCL are standardised and they are implemented using either an open collector or open drain configuration. What this means is that you need to pull these lines UP to VCC. For complete information on how the i2C is implemented in ATmega328PB, you need to go through the section of the datasheet called TWI or Two-Wire Serial Interface.

To start I2C in ATmega328PB, first the SCL frequency needs to set which must be under 100KHz .

To set the SCL frequency you set two registers TWBR0 and TWSR0.

TWSR0 has two bit 0 and bit 1; which sets the prescaler for the clock to the TWI.

Then TWBR0 needs to be set which can anything from 0 to 255.

THen you need to write the I2C functions for start, repeated start, data trasmission and recepetion and stop.
