@Dave thanks a million for that reply, it has sent me hurtling off to understand I2Cread and I2Cwrite.

Can anyone confirm the use of a DS1302 with I2Cread/WRITE or should I rather be using the SHIFTIN/OUT displayed in most of the forum threads regarding the DS1302.

I really would appreciate some help regarding the DS1302 and a kickstart of sorts.

Kind regards

Dennis
