··· Guys ive herd of the Real Time Clock (RTC) and I it spiked my interest in it. I have the BOE with the BS.2 and the LCD AppMod screen. Now I have to buy the chip and the Ocilator right? What else do I need to buy? Im still doing reserch on it. Im also thinking of makeing a charger out of the BS.2, but thats another project down the road.

    All you need is the chip, the oscilator and the manual. The manual has the schematic for wiring the DS1302.

    If you don't want to keep setting the time each time you power up the ds1302, you can also add a rechargable battery or super cap as shown in the manual. I have a series pair of AAA LiMH batteries and have activated the trickle charger in the ds1302 so it keeps time even when the system is powered off.
