I want to display a countdown timer in order to indicate the time left to end a process. I am wondering if there is a way to implement this by using the RTC module.

What I want to achieve is to send time values constantly to the MCU.

Do you know any idea to display a countdown timer without sending values to the STVC101 every second?

Hi, we don’t have a countdown control in our software, you can do this by using the following methods.
1. using the text variable control;
2. using the animation icon control, which has a timer function.

If you still have questions please feel free to contact me.

I still have no idea on how to design a timer by using the text variable control, and the animation control feature doesn’t have the timer function, as i show in the image. I have found a timer kind-of function in the animated picture control, but using this function involves using different full sized pictures for every time instance, which is impractical because of the existence of variable timing sets.

If there isn’t any way of timing control from the STVC101, my last option is handling it from my MCU program.

The animation icon can adjust the time interval by using the circled areas in the following picture 1.

 

or you can also use the MCU to set the countdown.
