RTC examples not compiling for d21G
We are migrating to the D21G for its RTC capabilites.
Is there information that will help get me up and running using RTC?
I am using the RTC link in the Industruino Github
I tried to compile the examples included with the library for the d21g but it failed with this error
exit status 1
request for member 'SetOutput' in '1073746944u', which is of pointer type 'Rtc*' (maybe you meant to use '->' ?)
they compile for other board types which suggests there is something in the RTC libary that needs to be tweaked for the D21G?
Hi Colin,
My appologies for the trouble, we found the issue: Indeed the "RTC" function was conflicting with the internal RTC function, changing the name to RTCind in all files resolved it. Also had to add Wire.begin in the setup routine. Please re-install latest version from our github: https://github.com/Industruino/MCP7940-RTC-Library
I did something wrong with my version control, I had a local version of the library that was working with the changes and instead of pushing this one I pulled the original one and made the changes on that copy, forgetting the most crucial changes along the way... A lesson learned.
Best Regards,
Loic
More information - appologies as that likely wasn't enough

So I know I'm just replying to my self here.. but it might help direct the solution. My understanding now is that the two headers (samd21g18a and MCP7940) are in conflict with respect to the defining of RTC. Now the approriate way to resolve this is a little lost on me.. but this link may help someone http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=285059.0

Thanks Loic - this all makes sense. Library management/versioning is always a joy. I am unsure why you needed to add wire.begin() and I'm not sure if you meant in the RTC library or in any code using it. To me it seems redundant having it in the main sketch, but it doesn't necessarily have an impact.
