Error decomposing Epoch Time value
PostPosted: Sun Oct 01, 2023 4:52 pm     Reply with quote

Hi, I am using the CCS V4.74 and the PIC18F4620, I need to decompose the value of an Epoch Time data into its equivalent years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds, for this I have this code but it does not correspond to the month or day of the month, could someone tell me what my mistake is?

Here is my code:
Code:
#include <18F4620.h>
#DEVICE ADC=8
#fuses HS,WDT32768,PROTECT,NOLVP,NOBROWNOUT
#use delay(clock=20MHz)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)// RS232 Estándar

#include <stdio.h>

int32 secondsInYear = 31536000;      // 365 * 24 * 60 * 60
int32 secondsInMonth = 2592000;      // 30 * 24 * 60 * 60
int32 secondsInDay = 86400;          // 24 * 60 * 60
int32 secondsInHour = 3600;          // 60 * 60
int32 secondsInMinute = 60;          // 60

int32 epochTime;
int16 years;
int months;
int days;
int hours;
int minutes;
int seconds;

int main() {
    epochTime = 1696199000;         // data Epoch time

    years = epochTime / secondsInYear;
    years = 1970 + years;
    epochTime = epochTime % secondsInYear;

    months = epochTime / secondsInMonth;
    epochTime = epochTime % secondsInMonth;

    days = epochTime / secondsInDay;
    epochTime = epochTime % secondsInDay;

    hours = epochTime / secondsInHour;
    epochTime = epochTime % secondsInHour;

    minutes = epochTime / secondsInMinute;
    seconds = epochTime% secondsInMinute;

    printf("Years: %Ld\r\n", years);
    printf("Months: %d\r\n", months);
    printf("Days: %d\r\n", days);
    printf("Hours: %d\r\n", hours);
    printf("Minutes: %d\r\n", minutes);
    printf("Seconds: %d\r\n", seconds);
}

Problem is you can't just divide like this. Remember years are different
lengths when they are leap years, and months all differ in length.
You have the function to do the conversion in the libraries with the
compiler. localtime in time.c/time.h.
If you want to do the conversion without this the function's code is here:

[/url]

You see, it walks through the time value, adjusting for the leap years and
month lengths.

You can prove that this is the problem. Simply do the divisions you
have coded on the Windows calculator.. Guess what this gives for the
month number.... 9. Sad
