RTC SD2405
This is code for using DF Robots SD2405 Real-Time clock Module.
I based this off of EriSan500 (Eric) http://www.tinyclr.com/codeshare/entry/8.
It allows you to read the datetime and enables writing the datetime.

@ MikeCormier - Cheers Mike, i have one of those in my stash that DF just sent me
Mike do you want to add this to:
sure. That will be helpfull.
Do you want me to add it or do you want to?
Your call, but I’ve added you as a developer to the project so you should be able to do as you wish.
I have no idea how to add the code so why don’t you do it.
I’ll build it as a driver and such and put it up. The SD2403 should be rather similar to this one as well.
The driver, open to suggestions, comments and improvements before I post it:

There are some other features in this chip which aren’t included here (alarms, 12/24 clock etc).
Hi everyone,
I would like to use SD2405 RTC module on NETMF 4.3, but I can’t find associated dll and code.
And I don’t know how to create its associated dll.
Does anyone can help me?
Thanks by advance,
Laura
Actually, it’s so old that this post was on the old tinyclr version of the forum The new codeshare location is https://www.ghielectronics.com/community/codeshare/entry/686
Hi andre.m and Brett,
Thanks to your quick reply. (I had to wait for 8 hours for my second post.)
My question was maybe unclear. I currently use this module on NETMF 4.2 and I would like to upgrade my project to NETMF 4.3. Unfortunately, I only found the driver of this module on NETMF 4.1 and 4.2: http://gadgeteerdfrobot.codeplex.com/releases/view/104078
So my question is: do you know if Gadgeteer 4.3 driver already exists? If it doesn’t exist, how can I manage to use this module on NETMF 4.3? I am not sure to know how to use the code you gave me with the module on my Fez Raptor mainboard.
Thanks by advance,
Laura
@ Laura - The 4.1 and 4.2 source and drivers are here http://gadgeteerdfrobot.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest but I’ll take a look at this tonight and see if I can cook you up a 4.3 driver. Is this on a breakout board or the DF Robot module?
@ Duke Nukem - Thanks a lot. What do you call a breakout board? I am looking for SD2405 RTC driver on NETMF 4.3.
Thanks for the link of source codes. I have already watched them and modify it on my NETMF 4.2 project. In fact, I had some problems with “hours” which was incorrect. I think it is because of the bit 12/24h which could be wrongly initialize in your code. That’s why I was also looking for the source code on NETMF 4.3. I don’t have my code now, but I will post it when I will have it.
Thanks again.
