# 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 Current time and date displayed on the Inkplate 10 screen, updating periodically. ## Notes - The RTC continues to run on its backup supply when the main power is off. - Reset the time by modifying the initial values in `main.cpp` and reflashing. ## Resources - Docs: https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate - Support: https://forum.soldered.com/ - Image tool: https://tools.soldered.com/tools/image-converter/
