What is Arduino®
Arduino® is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino® boards are able to read inputs – light-on sensor, a finger on a button or a Twitter message – and turn it into an output – activating of a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so, you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino® software IDE (based on Processing). Additional shields/modules/components are required for reading a twitter message or publishing online. Surf to www.arduino.cc for more information.

Product Overview

The DS1302 trickle-charge timekeeping chip contains a real-time clock/calendar and 31 bytes of static RAM. It communicates with a microprocessor via a simple serial interface. The real-time 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 an AM/PM indicator.

Specifications

•  power supply: 1 x CR2032 (included)
• TTL compatible: VCC = 5 V
•  temperature range: 0 °C to +70 °C

Features

•  manages all timekeeping functions: real-time clock counts seconds, minutes, hours, date of the month, month, day of the week, and year with leap year
• 31 x 8 battery-backed general-purpose RAM
• simple serial port interfaces to most microcontrollers: simple 3-wire interface
•  single-byte or multiple-byte (burst mode) data transfer for read or write of clock or RAM data
•  low power operation extends battery backup run time: 2.0 V to 5.5 V full operation
•  uses less than 300 µA @ 2.0 V

Pin Layout

CE| Input. The CE signal must be asserted high during a read or a write. This pin has an internal 40 kΩ (typ) pulldown resistor to ground. Note: Previous data sheet revisions referred to CE as RST. The functionality of the pin has not changed.
---|---
I/O| Input/push-pull output. The I/O pin is the bidirectional data pin for the 3-wire interface. This pin has an internal 40 kΩ (typ) pulldown resistor to ground.
SCLK| Input. SCLK is used to synchronize data movement on the serial interface. This pin has an internal 40 kΩ (typ) pulldown resistor to ground.
VCC| Primary power supply pin in dual supply configuration. VCC1 is connected to a backup source to maintain the time and date in the absence of primary power. The VMA301 operates from the larger of VCC1 or VCC2. When VCC2 is greater than VCC1 + 0.2 V, VCC2 powers the WPI301. When VCC2 is less than VCC1, VCC1 powers the WPI301.
---|---
GND| Ground.

Example
Before being able to use the sample program, an additional library needs to be installed. Go to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries… Put “DS1302” in the search bar and install the RTC library by Makuna (should be the first result). Whadda WPI301 DS1302 Real-time clock module example
This demo sets the time on the DS1302 RTC module to the compiled time of the sketch.
After this is configured the time returned by the DS1302 module is periodically printed on the serial monitor
Check whadda.com for more information including a wiring diagram for this demo.
