Required Hardware
The DS1307 is actually a very simple I2C chip. It just gives you back 7 bytes of information that is the time.
Wiring
To wire your DS1307 Real Clock to your Arduino, connect the following pins:
- Ds1307 Pin 1 (X1) –> Pin 1 of Crystal
- Ds1307 Pin 2 (X2) –> Pin 2 of Crystal
- Ds1307 Pin 3 (VBat) –> Battery +3V
- Ds1307 Pin 4 (Gnd) –> Ground
- Ds1307 Pin 5 (Sda) –> Arduino Pin A4
- Ds1307 Pin 6 (Scl) –> Arduino Pin A5
- Ds1307 Pin 7 (Sqw) –> N/C
- Ds1307 Pin 8 (Vcc) –> Arduino +5V
- Connect also Ds1307 Pin 3 & 4 with a Capacitor 0.1uF
- And Battery Ground with Arduino Battery
