84+/SE System Clock?
« on: January 21, 2011, 09:05:54 pm »
Does anyone know how to get the system time on an 84+? I know how to get the battery state and free ram and some other stuff (thanks to wikiti) but i dont know how to get the time. Im assuming it will require Asm(hex).

Yes, well it's kinda complicated.  There are several ports that describe it.  And yes, it will require asm(

Look at this: http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=83Plus:Ports:40

Code: [Select]
.Input is pointer to 4-byte area to write the 32-bit time value (little endian)
Asm(0E45EDA20CEDA20CEDA20CEDA2)
.Output is pointer+4, and time value is written to memory

Assembly source here:
Code: [Select]
ld c,$45
ini
inc c

inc c

Since Axe uses up to 65535, usually, you will probably have to deal with a simple timer. For example, doing Asm(DB456FDB4667 *should* store the current timer value mod 65536 in Ans.

Is there a way to format the output of this, and make it update? It doesnt appear to update within the program (its in a subroutine that is called once on each iteration of my main loop)

I don't understand what you mean. Could I see the source code?

K
Code: [Select]
Fix 0
Fix 5
Repeat getKey(15)
sub(TR)
DispGraphClrDraw //EDIT: This is also in there lol
End

Return

Lbl TR //time and RAM :)
Asm(EFE542EF9247EF5641)->R //RAM
Asm(0E45EDA20CEDA20CEDA20CEDA2)->T //time i guess
Text(0,56,R>Dec
Text(70,56,T>Dec //Without >dec it only displays a 4, with it it diplays some weird long number
Return

You have to put a pointer to the place to store to in the "last result". Example:
Code: [Select]
°A
Asm(0E45EDA20CEDA20CEDA20CEDA2)
Then A holds low 16 bits and B holds the high 16 bits.

Indeed. It is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, making it equivalent to Unix time
You'll have to convert seconds into years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. ;)

I think it's actually the number of seconds since January 1, 1997, and it's local time, not UTC.  So not exactly Unix time.

What does that do?  I don't remember how the BASIC time functions work.

That returns a string telling the time, normally.
