Our Code: MCU-60084

Supplier Link: [SparkFun MPN:BOB-12708]

Description

This a custom designed module for the DS1307 Real Time Clock. The module comes fully assembled and pre-programmed with the current time (ok, so it's SparkFun's time - MST - Colarado USA). The included Lithium coin cell battery (CR1225 41mAh) will run the module for a minimum of 9 years (17 years typical) without external 5V power. The DS1307 is accessed via the I2C protocol. SparkFun have written a test-bed to program the modules. This test-bed code should give you some insight on how to interface the module to any microcontroller using our example software I2C and BCD routines.
