  while (!MCP7940.begin()) { // Initialize RTC communications
    Serial.println("Unable to find MCP7940. Checking again in 1 second.");
    delay(1000);
  } // of loop until device is located
 uint8_t alarmType;
 MCP7940.setAlarm(0,7,DateTime(2017,8,5,18,30,0)); // Alarm 0 triggers at 18:30:00 on 2017-08-05
 while (!MCP7940.getAlarmState(0)); // loop until the alarm 0 is triggered
 MCP7940.setAlarmState(0,false); // Turn off the alarm
