Project in the making.
I am building a project using the BOE, Motor Mind B, DS1302 with SX
capacitor and a 3volt Mabuchi motor. I am trying to control the motor
in forward and reverse at preset times of the day. So far, I can
control the motor in forward and reverse, but can't tell it the time
of day to do it and the direction to do it in. Can you help?
Thanks,
Nicholas B.

Parallax has some information about the DS1302 available from their
website (I think it may have been an app kit). Check under the
downloads section or do a search for DS1302.
Another option would be the DS1307 which is similar to the 1302 but
uses the I2C (2-wire) interface. (The DS1302 requires a 3-wire
interface). I have written tutorials for I2C communication and for
the DS1307. The I2C tutorial is at http://www.high-
techgarage.com/tutorial/i2c.php and the DS1307 tutorial is available
at http://www.high-techgarage.com/tutorial/ds1307.php. We also offer
a Parts Kit which has all the components you need to get the DS1307
up and running.
Good luck with your project!
