In this video, I take a look at the DS1307 real-time clock integrated circuit. I cover the features and capabilities of the chip, take a look at the datasheet then build up a circuit on a breadboard. Next, I cover how to communicate with the chip via an Arduino sketch without using a third-party library. Finally, I take a look at the square wave output feature on an oscilloscope.
