Introduction
This tiny RTC module is based on the clock chip DS1307 which supports the I2C protocol. It uses a
Lithium cell battery (CR1225). The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date,month, and
year information. The end of the month date is automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days,
including corrections for leap year. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with AM/PM
indicator.

The RTC module use the I2C bus to communicate with Arduino&Crowduinom. Arduino has one I2C port
with A4 and A5, connect the RTC module to Arduino as below:

Programming

You can set Tiny RTC time and get the current time from this module, copy the following programs to you
Arduino IDE and download to you Arduino, please refer to Here (http://www.elecrow.com/wiki/index.php?
title=How_to_install_the_librarys_and_upload_programs_to_Arduino) to learn how to install the library
and download the programs.

Wire.write(decToBcd(month));
Wire.write(decToBcd(year));
Wire.endTransmission();

Wire.endTransmission();
Wire.requestFrom(DS1307_I2C_ADDRESS, 7);
second = bcdToDec(Wire.read() & 0x7f);

dayOfWeek = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
dayOfMonth = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
month = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
year = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
Serial.print(hour, DEC);
Serial.print(":");
Serial.print(minute, DEC);
Serial.print(":");
Serial.print(second, DEC);
Serial.print(" ");
Serial.print(month, DEC);
Serial.print("/");
Serial.print(dayOfMonth, DEC);
Serial.print("/");
Serial.print(year,DEC);
Serial.print(" ");
Serial.println();
//Serial.print("Day of week:");
}
void setup() {
Wire.begin();
Serial.begin(19200);
setDateDs1307(); //Set current time;
}
void loop()
{
delay(2000);
getDateDs1307();//get the time data from tiny RTC
}

You can set the current time in the setDateDs1307() function, Open a Sscom32 terminal, and set the
baudrate to 19200, you will see the time that you set and changing with time.
