Running DS1307 Applet

G'Day,
When I installed the DS1307 Lib saw that it has an applet directory. With so many different files there, is there a simple run command to launch the application. Have not played with Jarva before and after looking at the tutorial on it it seems that I have to embed it in a html file(and will have a play with that approach tonight) But is there a quicker way that that, given the number of files in said applet dir.

The applet directory contains various intermediate files the build process needs to turn the source code into a file that can be uploaded to Arduino. Unless you are interested in the technical build process you can ignore everthing in the applet directory.

There are a number of DS1307 libraries, which one are you using?

G'Day Mem (keep wanting to type MEMory)
Got Lib from the Interfacing with Hardware page, TIME section.
Library to control the RTC DS1307 with Arduino. Also an example is supplied and how to connect it. RTC DS1307 Library
Was redirected and downloaded from: -
Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.

There are no acknowledgments in the code, nor authors name.
Can read the date/time Ok Am just playing with how to set the time without doing VB code.

The applet directory should not have been included with the library. It won't help you, you can delete it.

The example sketch sets the time whenever its starts but its not much use because it's a hard coded value.

It's worth a thorough search to see if you can either find a sketch for the library you have that takes user input to set the time, or another library with code that has user input to set the time. I thought LadyAda had a nice simple library that set the time but I didn't find it in a quick search.

It may be overkill for what you want to do, but I use the DS1307RTC library that is part of the download for the Arduino Time Library. There is an example sketch named TimeRTCSet.pde that can set a DS1307 from time signals coming from a PC. The Time library is here: Arduino Playground - Time

Tks will have a play with that Lib .
