[Part 6] Arduino Data Logger

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Project:   DataLogger
// Version:   0.3
// Date:      30 June 2018
// Author:    Greg Howell
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Version    Date              Comments
// 0.3        30 June 2018      Added debugging and diagnostics on serial port, sped up ADC for analogue read (128kHz -> 1MHz), fixed "A REF"
// 0.2        26 April 2018     Addition of switch to enable/disable logging to SD card and LED to indicate logging status
// 0.1        17 February 2018  Initial Development
//
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Description:
//  - Logs analog0 value to a text file on the SD card along with date/time stamp in CSV format
//  - Maintains date/time via DS1302 Real Time Clock
//  - Builds with Arduino 1.8.5
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// #includes
#include    // Serial Peripheral Interface
#include     // SD Cards
#include // DS1302 RTC

const int ledPin =  6;    // Pin 6 is the LED indicate logging status (digital output)

const byte PS_16 = (1 << ADPS2);

// Init the DS1302
// Pin 2 = RST
// Pin 3 = DAT
// Pin 4 = CLK

  //rtc.setTime(15, 50, 0); // Set the time to 12:00:00 (24hr format)
  //rtc.setDate(26, 4, 2018); // Set the date to August 6th, 2010

    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
  }

  // Print current system date from RTC at start up
  Serial.print("System date: ");
  Serial.println(String(rtc.getDateStr()) + "," + String(rtc.getTimeStr()));

    // don't do anything more:

  // Logging enabled
