Macegr,
Thanks.
I have looked around and bought a DIP MCP.
I have downloaded your centiped library.
I hope it all works nicely.
I am asking other places but not getting any replies - which is annoying.
I am "using" this sketch called "multi day alarm clock" but have made it so much more/better.
That's why I am needing the MCP. I'm guessing - and that is literal - that the RTC and EEPROM are on the I2C bus as well. So now my concern is how to get both these types of devices working on the bus together.
Obviously it is possible, but as you are the guru of that - well: That shield is definitly a good idea and uses what I am going to use - I hope you may be able to allay any fears I have about getting it working easily.
Is it that when I connect the MCP, I assing it an address and the centiped library can just "find it"?
