The real-time clock (RTC) block for obtaining the date and time can act on the ESP32 internal RTC as well as on the DS3231 RTC module. The block can be configured to retrieve the different formats of date and time. FLProg can set the correct time and date of the DS3231 RTC module by synchronizing it with the computer's date and time. The inbuilt temperature sensor of the DS3231 module can also be retrieved with the FLProg function block. The values for the time, date and temperature are accessed and displayed on the I2C LCD using a pushbutton switch. The programming demonstration circuit uses the ESP32 NodeMCU, I2C Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), DS3231 and a pushbutton switch.

BotRascal:
Please I would really like you to answer this question. What are the potentials of embedded systems in Nigeria seeing that we have less manufacturers here.... I really want to go into the field instead of web design, or software engineering?

There is great potential for embedded systems in Nigeria currently on small scale. It seems to be an uncharted territory that mainly revolves around student projects. There is a great prospect for startups with innovative ideas even though the Nigerian economy is largely in favour of importation from China.

If you are passionate about embedded systems, go for it but think globally. Do not allow the current state of the Nation to deter you. Who knows what invention you might come up with as you study along?
