Request: RTC and Push Buttons

[febalci]

Sorry, it seems the forum is now working... I have 2 questions:

1. Is there any plans for RTC usage, like DS3231? I think that might ease the network traffic.

2. Can we use regular push buttons instead of touch sensors?

Thanks for the fantastic work, i spent 2 weeks to write a DIY LaMetric clock and i found out your awesome AWTRIX just after that, happily throw all my work to trash bin, lol.

Hello I'm using now a NodeMCU ESP8266 standard board with regular pushbuttons without many problems. You must take care with the button connected to D8 pin. That button must be connect to D8 pin and to 3.3v pin to work properly. Other thing I changed was the checkTaster function because the logic to get the state of the buttons must be this:
tasterState[0] = digitalRead(tasterPin[0]); //D0 pin
tasterState[1] = digitalRead(tasterPin[1]); //D4 pin
tasterState[2] = !digitalRead(tasterPin[2]); //D8 pin

I hope this work for you too.

About the RTC usage I think also that could be something interesting, anyway I thing the clock app are not requesting the time very often.
