I want to interface an RTC to a 887 PIC. What is likely to be the easiest way to do this in Flowcode? RTCs come with various interfaces like I2C, 1 wire, 3 wire, SPI, parallel address (although I think the data is always serial). Which would be easiest to programme? Some claim to be ‘industry standard’ parts. Is there any standard code out here from someone who has done it before?

Hello

I think some of these devices have been previously covered on the forum.

Let us know how you get on and which device you choose to go for, the DS1307 seems popular.

Thanks. Might have found those if I had searched for RTC intead of Real Time Clock!

Hello

Yes I think RTC is quite common term for these items now.

I have asked Sean for his example files for the DS1305 device which are attached below.

I can not open the zipped folder. can it be re-posted and the integrity checked?
Thanks, Bill S

Ok, here is the file.
