MANUALOFBOARDET-MiniClock4
ET-MINICLOCK4isDigitalClockwith4-DIGITDOTMATRIX(8x32DOT),andanumeralsizepereachdigitis3cmwide.
It can show theTime, Date, andTemperature;moreover it canbe usedas Timer internal Clock. This Clocksupports 2 sourcesof Time
Base. Firstly, Time Base from internal Clock is RTC DS3231; and secondly, Time Base from External Clock is Module GPS that is
connected via Connector RJ45 (OPTION: ET-GPS-RS422). In the part of GPS, it cansetup Time Zone intherange of ± (TimeZone
forThailandis+7).
Itcansetupandchoosevariousdisplayformatsfor thisET-MINICLOCK4;itcanshowDate,Time,Temperature,Humidity(it
has to additionally connect ET-SENSOR AM2302); or, it is used as Timer; or, it shows flashing message “Open” or “Close”; or, it is
used as Alarm Clock to ring at a particular time in the range of 0-23 hours. There is Buzzer to produce a sound of alarm and there is
ChannelofAlarmOUTinordertocontroloperationofexternaldevicewhenAlarmhappens.

3) HOWTORUNET-MINI-CLOCK4
It starts supplying Power Supply DC 5V or DC 12V to the Clock, the system reads Setting values from EEPROM internal
MCU;forexample,brightnessofDisplay,DisplayMode,TimeZone;andnext,itchecksifGPSisconnected.IfGPSisconnectedandit
isreadytorun(GPSstarts runningafterPOWER-ONfor40seconds),itshowsthemessage“GPS”ontheDisplay forawhile and user
canheartheaudiofilesay“GPSisready”(itisonly available forthemodelPlus,Box Plus). Next, programreads TimeBasefromGPS
and it updates this Time Base for RTC DS3231 (it only updates the Time Base after Power-ON or Reset the Clock); and finally, the
Display shows the message according to the chosen Mode Display of Key. If GPS is disconnected, the Display shows the message
“RTC”forawhileandusercanheartheaudiofilesay“RTCworks”(itisonlyavailableforthemodelPlus,BoxPlus);nexttheprogram
readsTimeBasefromRTCDS3231instead.
Next, program loopsand waits for user topress Remote. If it is not pressed yet, it reads Time Base fromGPS or RTCthat is
activated in orderto updatetheDisplay value. If it is in DisplayModeoftemperature or humidity, program reads value of temperature
and humidity from Sensor. Or, if Alarm is enabled, program always checks if it reaches the specified time of Alarm. If yes, Alarm
commandsBuzzertoproduceintervalBeepanditplaysaudiofileofMP3viaSpeaker(OnlyavailableforModelPlus,BoxPlus).
Whilerunningin anyDisplayMode, user canpressRemote to changethe display modeto different formatsas preferable. For
