# RTC Calibration Calibrate the PCF85063A RTC crystal frequency on Soldered Inkplate 6Flick using LVGL. ## Overview Initialises the PCF85063A RTC with default calibration settings and prints HH:MM:SS to the serial console every second. Adjust `setClockOffset()` to fine-tune the crystal frequency. If the RTC drifts, adjust the offset value — negative values slow the clock, positive speed it up. Compare against a reference clock over several minutes. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 6Flick - USB cable ## Setup Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to: **Inkplate Boards → Inkplate6 Flick** ## Build and Flash ``` idf.py build idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` ## Expected Output - Display shows status prompts. - Open serial monitor at 115200 baud. - RTC starts at 00:00:00 and prints `HH:MM:SS` every second. - Compare with a reference clock; adjust `setClockOffset()` as needed. ## Notes - `setInternalCapacitor(true)` selects the 12.5 pF internal load capacitor. - `setClockOffset(mode, value)`: mode 1 = correction every 4 minutes; value is two's complement offset (–63 to +63). - `display.frontlight.setState(false)` disables the frontlight at startup. ## Resources - Docs: https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate - Support: https://forum.soldered.com/ - Image tool: https://tools.soldered.com/tools/image-converter/
