/*
 * IMPORTANT NOTE:
 *
 * This example is associated with the deprecated Arduino_MachineControl library.
 * We have introduced a new and improved library called Arduino_PortentaMachineControl, which offers enhanced features
 * and ongoing support. 
 * We encourage you to update your projects to use the new library.

 * The functions and syntax in this example are not compatible with Arduino_PortentaMachineControl.

  Machine Control - RTC Example

  This sketch shows how to use the RTC PCF8563T on the Machine
  Control Carrier and how to configure the PCF8563T's
  time registers.

  Circuit:
   - Portenta H7
   - Machine Control
