Well here's the latest. I purchased the Sparkfun DS3234 breakout board to keep accurate time. I have it wired as follows:
Pin 13 to CLK on the RTC
Pin 12 to MISO
Pin 11 to MOSI
pin 8 to SS.
Using the example code below, I tried MODE1 and MODE3 and both result in the following being displayed in the Serial output display:
45/25/165 18:85:85
or
0/0/0 0:0:0
The example code is from the Sparkfun web site for the RTC. Any ideas?
Thanks.
#include <SPI.h>

Serial.begin(9600);
RTC_init();
//day(1-31), month(1-12), year(0-99), hour(0-23), minute(0-59), second(0-59)
SetTimeDate(11,12,13,14,15,16);
}
void loop() {
Serial.println(ReadTimeDate());
delay(1000);
