Simple RTC Alarm
This example demonstrate how to use the RTC library methods in order to do something when an alarm is matched. In particular in this example, the RTC time is set at 16:00:00 and an alarm at 16:00:10. When the time match using the match type MATCH_HHMMSS is reached, the attached interrupt function will print on the serial monitor Alarm Match!.
Only your Arduino or Genuino Board is needed for this example.
