Thanks Darrel for the help, its much appreciated. Im trying to get used to reading the datasheets to understand how to communicate with the devices but as you can see not reading them so well at the moment.
I did try to read the datasheet for the (real time Ic) DS1302 last night but well that just confused me, i think i need the picture book version for ages 1 to 5

ill have a good read of that link you gave me.
