When I uploaded this code it locked up the arduino in that the TX light stays on.
The sketch does continue to output to the serial monitor but
the output is not correct as it does not set the time correctly on the RTC
Also when I attempt to upload a different sketch the LED marked as L on the board flashes for
a few seconds just before the upload fails with the message:
processing.app.SerialNotFoundException: Serial port '/dev/ttyACM0' not
found. Did you select the right one from the Tools > Serial Port
menu?

It is ok if I comment out the part in the loop so date/time setup part
seems to work.
I also uncommented the part which reads date/time from the DS1307 and
just prints the hour and minutes and these are correct!
Can anyone spot what is wrong?
Here is the code:

If anyone tries this code and doesn't know what to do to reset the arduino then look here:

I had to get the timing of the upload just right. and it took about a dozen tries before I succeeded.
I am running Ubuntu 10.10
