How to extract the current time from the calendar_example, i am not clear with the procedure

Hi 

You would use the nrf_cal_get_time(void) function for this. 

It returns a pointer to a tm struct which contains the current time in seconds, minutes, hours and so on. 

You can also use the nrf_cal_get_time_string(bool calibrated) function if you just want a string representation of the current time.

Hi,

nrf_log module doesnt work now.. I am working on it, mean while can you please check this out..

this was the output when i used int datatype

EDIT : I am getting the same result using the character array pointer as well

below is the code i used for character array

 char k[16];
        for(int i = 0; i < sizeof(nrf_cal_get_time_string(true)); i++) {
        k[i] = nrf_cal_get_time_string(true)[i];
        }
      err_code = ble_nus_data_send(&m_nus, k, &lendt, m_conn_handle);

Hi 

How do you reset the time to start with?

I will try to merge the calendar example with the ble_app_uart example to see if I can reproduce your issue. You should hear from me soon ;)

Hi, 

I don't know how to reset the time, But i did try the following function from the same library :

uint32_t year = 2020;
uint32_t month = 8;
uint32_t day = 14;
uint32_t hour = 20;
uint32_t minute = 5;
uint32_t second = 55;
nrf_cal_set_time(year, month, day, hour, minute, second);

But this gave me an error.

Thank you , I am awaiting for your reply
