<a id="ds3231_setAlarm"></a>
## setAlarm()
####Description
Set an alarm to be triggered on SQW pin:
_alarm1_ has a precision of **seconds**; _alarm2_ has a precision of **minutes** (`second` parameter will be ignored).  

Alarms sets gpio.LOW over the SQW pin and let it unchanged until reloaded. When reloaded sets gpio.HIGH.
Alarms trigger **only once**, after that, if you want them to trigger again, you need to call `reloadAlarms()` or `setAlarm(...)` again.

Alarm type set the alarm match conditions:  
- `ds3231.EVERYSECOND` works only with _alarm1_ and triggers every second;  
- `ds3231.EVERYMINUTE` works only with _alarm2_ and triggers every minute (at 00 seconds);  
- `ds3231.SECOND` triggers when time match given `seconds` parameter;  
- `ds3231.MINUTE` triggers when time match given `seconds` and `minutes` parameters;  
- `ds3231.HOUR` triggers when time match given `seconds`, `minutes`, and `hours` parameters;  
- `ds3231.DAY` triggers when time match given `seconds`, `minutes`, and `hours` on week day `date/day` parameters;  
- `ds3231.DATE` triggers when time match given `seconds`, `minutes`, and `hours` on date (day of the month) `date/day` parameters;  

####Syntax
setAlarm(alarmId, alarmType, seconds, minutes, hours, date/day)

####Parameters
alarmId: 1-2  
alarmType: 1-7  
seconds: 00-59  
minutes: 00-59  
hours: 00-23  
date/day: 01-31 or 1-7 (Sunday = 1, Saturday = 7)

####Returns
nil

####Example
```lua
ds3231=require("ds3231")
ds3231.init(3, 4)

-- Setting PIN1 to triggers on interrupt when alarm triggers
gpio.mode(1,gpio.INT)
gpio.trig(1,'down',function(level)
  print('Time is passing')
  -- If not reloaded it will be triggered only once
  ds3231.reloadAlarms()
end)

ds3231.setAlarm(2,ds3231.EVERYMINUTE)

-- Don't forget to release it after use
ds3231 = nil
package.loaded["ds3231"]=nil
```

<a id="ds3231_reloadAlarms"></a>
## reloadAlarms()
####Description
Reload an already triggered alarm. Otherwise it will never be triggered again.
Alarms have to be reloaded both to let them triggers.

####Syntax
reloadAlarms()

####Parameters
nil

####Returns
nil

####Example
```lua
ds3231=require("ds3231")
ds3231.init(3, 4)

-- Setting PIN1 to triggers on interrupt when alarm triggers
gpio.mode(1,gpio.INT)
gpio.trig(1,'down',function(level)
  print('Time is passing')
  -- If not reloaded it will be triggered only once
  ds3231.reloadAlarms()
end)

ds3231.setAlarm(2,ds3231.EVERYMINUTE)

-- Don't forget to release it after use
ds3231 = nil
package.loaded["ds3231"]=nil
```

<a id="ds3231_enableAlarm"></a>
## enableAlarm()
####Description
Enable an already setted alarm with the previous matching conditions. It reload alarms internally.

####Syntax
enableAlarm(alarmId)

####Parameters
alarmId: 1-2

####Returns
nil

####Example
```lua
ds3231=require("ds3231")
ds3231.init(3, 4)

-- Trigger on x:20:15
ds3231.setAlarm(1,ds3231.MINUTE,15,20)

if badThing == 1 then
  ds3231.disableAlarm(1)
end

if goodThing == 1 then
  ds3231.enableAlarm(1)
end

-- Don't forget to release it after use
ds3231 = nil
package.loaded["ds3231"]=nil
```

<a id="ds3231_disableAlarm"></a>
## disableAlarm()
####Description
Disable an already setted alarm with the previous matching conditions.  
if _alarmId_ is not 1 or 2 it disables both alarms.  
**Warning**: `disableAlarm()` prevent alarms to trigger interrupt over SQW pin but alarm itself will triggers at the matching conditions as it could be seen on _status byte_.

####Syntax
disableAlarm(alarmId)

####Parameters
alarmId: 0-2

####Returns
nil

####Example
```lua
ds3231=require("ds3231")
ds3231.init(3, 4)

-- Trigger on x:20:15
ds3231.setAlarm(1,ds3231.MINUTE,15,20)

if badThing == 1 then
  ds3231.disableAlarm(1)
end

if goodThing == 1 then
  ds3231.enableAlarm(1)
end

-- Don't forget to release it after use
ds3231 = nil
package.loaded["ds3231"]=nil
```

<a id="ds3231_getBytes"></a>
## getBytes()
####Description
Get bytes of control, for debug purpose, and status of DS3231. To see what they means check the [Datasheet](http://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS3231.pdf)

####Syntax
getBytes()

####Parameters
nil

####Returns
control: integer. Control 0-255
status: integer. Status 0-143 (bit 6-5-4 unused)

####Example
```lua
ds3231=require("ds3231")
ds3231.init(3, 4)

control,status = ds3231.getBytes()
print('Control byte: '..control)
print('Status byte: '..status)

-- Don't forget to release it after use
ds3231 = nil
package.loaded["ds3231"]=nil
```

<a id="ds3231_resetStopFlag"></a>
## resetStopFlag()
####Description
Stop flag on status byte means that the oscillator either is stopped or was stopped for some period and may be used to judge the validity of the timekeeping data.
When setted to 1 this flag keeps that values until changed to 0.  
Call `resetStopFlag()` if you need to check validity of time data after that.

####Syntax
resetStopFlag()

####Parameters
nil

####Returns
nil

####Example
```lua
ds3231=require("ds3231")
ds3231.init(3, 4)

control,status = ds3231.getBytes()
if bit.band(bit.rshift(status, 7),1) == 1 then
  print('[WARNING] RTC has stopped')
  ds3231.resetStopFlag()
end

-- Don't forget to release it after use
ds3231 = nil
package.loaded["ds3231"]=nil
```
