Hey all,

I'm using the ESP8266 to make a driver turn on and off at a certain time.

I'm using the RTCLIB to pull the time. Is there a simple way to program a pin to go from LOW to High at certain times based on the RTC??

This is what I have right now..(stock RTC example)

include <Wire.h>
#include "RTClib.h"

RTC_DS3231 rtc;

char daysOfTheWeek[7][12] = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"};

void setup() {


Serial.begin(9600);

Serial.println("got this far");

delay(3000); // wait for console opening

if (! rtc.begin()) {
Serial.println("Couldn't find RTC");
while (1);
}

rtc.adjust(DateTime(F(__DATE__), F(__TIME__)));

if (rtc.lostPower()) {
Serial.println("RTC lost power, lets set the time!");
// following line sets the RTC to the date & time this sketch was compiled
rtc.adjust(DateTime(F(__DATE__), F(__TIME__)));


}
}

void loop() {
DateTime now = rtc.now();

Serial.print(now.year(), DEC);
Serial.print('/');
Serial.print(now.month(), DEC);
Serial.print('/');
Serial.print(now.day(), DEC);
Serial.print(" (");
// Serial.print(daysOfTheWeek[now.dayOfTheWeek()]);
Serial.print(") ");
Serial.print(now.hour(), DEC);
Serial.print(':');
Serial.print(now.minute(), DEC);
Serial.print(':');
Serial.print(now.second(), DEC);
Serial.println();

delay(3000);

}


thanks for the help.
