Hope the Wx station is going along ok.  Did you put the line in to stop recording if it reaches the limit of the memory?
I was just sitting here thinking I was finished when I realized that I don't have that code in the Geiger program.   Cry

Well, I have been playing around with my dump program and trying to get more familiar using functions and procedures, so I haven't actually started messing with the Main program.  I think I may rename it to Collect.  Then my to programs will be Collect and Dump...  hehe

I am thinking about trying to write a good, solid program for dealing with the RTC.  I want one that will do it all; Time and Date.   We'll see.

After lots of tinkering with my dump program, I think I have finally finished with version 2.2.  I added the ability to set and read the date on the RTC and also have the option to dump up to the address pointer or dump all of memory.  I also changed how you set the time.  Instead of entering hours, minutes, and seconds seperately, you enter it in a more familiar format <hh:mm:ss>.  I did the date the same way; <mm/dd/yyyy>.  I know, the RTC on tracks a 2 digit year, but the other 2 digits are for the benefit of the date_str variable, and makes it prettier on the screen.

I did this program with mostly procedures and functions.  I think I am about ready to tackle the Collect (Datalogger, Everything...  whatever you want to call it) program.   I have alreay decided to remove the Barometer calculations and only record the raw data.  I have also tested some code to prevent wrapping around in the eeprom; although, that may change.

Here is the source code for Dump 2.2 and a sample session with it.
