There's some easy route to use if you want to.

DS1307 RTC.

Thank you very much for this link . Is usefully .

Tell me please , has DS1307 only a single address code for all with this type ? In datasheet write :

"The slave address byte contains the 7-bit DS1307 address, which is 1101000, followed by the direction bit (R/W),"

If they have everyone a unique code , how can I know it ?

Thanks !

Don't worry, they all have the same... but you can't stack few of them on the same BUS like most I2C device who have those A0, A1, A2 lines on.

Only , becose is not necessary , yes ?

Maybe, I don't know a situation where someone would need more than one RTC for a single project... possible, but probably not very common...

You can add some other I2C device on the same I2C bus line though... just not another DS1307.
