Arduino Uno Starter Kit DS1307 Problems

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

Hi I'm working my way through the starter kit for the arduino Uno and it has gone relatively smoothly until I have hit lesson no 19 which is the DS1307 real time clock module.
I have downloaded every relevant library also some others from GITHUB after doing quite a lot of research into the problem and keep coming up with this message;

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Windows Store 1.8.57.0) (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Uno"

DS1307_Example:6:8: error: 'DS3231 clock' redeclared as different kind of symbol

DS3231 clock;

    ^~~~

 extern clock_t clock(void);

                ^~~~~

DS1307_Example:7:1: error: 'RTCDateTime' does not name a type; did you mean 'DateTime'?

RTCDateTime dt;

Multiple libraries were found for "DS3231.h"

exit status 1

'DS3231 clock' redeclared as different kind of symbol

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

I am using the code which came from the starter disc.
Any ideas?

Be aware that a lot of us are not familiar with the starter kit. Please post your code here using code tags; if you don't know how, please read How to get the best out of this forum.

Your topic has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum. Installation and Troubleshooting is not for problems with (nor for advise on) your project :wink: See About the Installation & Troubleshooting category.
