How does one set the RTC on the Pi 5 and also recover the time from it?

andylhart

All is in the subject line. I Have a Pi 5 but have been unable to find out how to use the RTC, there is a a dearth of information it seems.

    What's with the negative vote?

    With the way Verint operates, upvoted comments become more visible towards the 'top' of the thread, and downvoted comments are less prevalent.

    I can see that being justified with regard to accuracy for someone with a question and looking for an answer.

    It's similar to how Reddit operates. However, functionality on the site is always being assessed.

    I think it's a cultural issue. On Reddit, the community can understand voting as a poll to vote for the best answer in the eyes of the community. I think this is not the case in the element14 community, instead of giving a downvote which many members may understand as a hostile act, simply propose another answer or respectfully indicate to the other that it may not be the most correct answer in your opinion. . . .

    As indicated in the Participation Guidelines and Code of Conduct, "not all actions have an inherently personal motivation or objective. This includes using features such as downvoting a comment. Comments may be downvoted for a variety of reasons, including relevance to the thread or topic, or in response to the question."

    In this specific case, I am personally shocked by that negative vote. It is a cultural issue, but I would not give a negative vote to an answer that is in a helpful tone, that gives a lot of useful information and that is not fundamentally incorrect. What is an RTC module without battery? :P

    I also want to understand that scottiebabe is not giving a negative vote to shabaz but to the possible inaccuracy of the answer, even if it seems otherwise. In any case, they both have my admiration, it is great to have them both in the community.
