How do I convince a DS3231 to output seconds since 1/1/2000? I can’t find anything in the DS3231 data sheet describing such a function.

  If you’re using the DS3231 library, you can use the following code:
  
  DateTime now = RTC.now(); //get the current date-time
  currentepochtime = (now.get()); //seconds since 1/1/2000
  
  Look at the “now” example that comes with the DS3231 library to see the whole sketch.
