#153466 - Another approach Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Rather than "Zipping", why not just keep track of the number of minutes that have elasped since an arbritrary date?
3 bytes gives you a 24 bit number, which gives you 16.7M minutes, or 31 years! Set Jan 01, 2008 as time=0, and write a program to convert the RTC date into elasped minutes. Of course, if you are worried about what happens in 2039, then use a 4th byte, and be safe until the year 10173. After that, it is someone elses problem. |
