solar pump switch
I'm doing a project on solar panel water pump.I need to use C programming to automatically activate the water pump battery from 6pm to 6am for a 4 digit 7-Segment LED.
Here are the codes from my previous project codes for Count Down Timer for AT89C5131 board. So how do I edit from it?

Personally, I'd use some kind of text editor.

Did you hope for new answers to the same question ?
btw..If you wrote the code in the file you attached, this shouldn't be much different !

In order to know when 6pm is, you need to know what time it is "now", in order to know when 6pm is actually 6pm.
The MCU you quote doesn't have a real time clock, so does the board you're supplied with have such a clock?
Mind you, the whole "solar" thing is a give-away.
Perhaps all you need to do is put one of these across a couple of I/O pins in order to determine that it is in fact just "dark" outside.

Actually for the original inquiry... I would follow an already suggested route of using a photocell on an analog input. It's smarter than a timer since it can also account for cloud cover, enormous forest fires, volcanic ash, eclipses, massive solar flares and blue moons.
