# DS1302 RTC library for Arduino

This project is a library for the [Arduino](http://arduino.cc) platform. It

provides a simple interface to the

[Maxim DS1302](http://www.maximintegrated.com/en/products/digital/real-time-clocks/DS1302.html)

timekeeping chip. It allows Arduino projects to keep accurate time easily.

## Features

Of the features on the DS1302, this library provides support for:

* Setting and retrieving the time, using the burst modes.

* Setting and clearing the Write Protect (WP) flag.

* Setting and clearing the Clock Halt (CH) flag.

* Setting and accessing the 31 bytes of static RAM. Single-byte and multi-byte

  (burst) modes are supported.

* Low-level register access.

Trickle charging support is the only major feature of the DS1302 not directly

supported by this library. However, trickle charging can be enabled using the

low-level register access functions if desired.

## Examples and documentation

The [header file](DS1302.h) is well-commented, and the [examples](examples)

directory contains example sketches for immediate use.

## Installing

Place the `DS1302` directory in the `libraries` subdirectory of your Arduino

sketch directory. On OS X, for example, your sketch directory might be:

    /Users/you/Documents/Arduino

In that case, you should put the `DS1302` directory at:

    /Users/you/Documents/Arduino/libraries/DS1302
