# RTC Simple

Basic PCF85063A RTC set and read example for Soldered Inkplate 10.

## Overview

Demonstrates how to set the time and date on the PCF85063A real-time clock and read it back. The current time is displayed on the Inkplate 10 e-paper screen and updated periodically.

## Hardware Required

- Soldered Inkplate 10
- USB cable

## Setup

In `main.cpp`, set the initial time and date values before building.

Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to:
**Inkplate Boards → Inkplate10**

## Build and Flash

```
idf.py build
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```

## Expected Output
