Bad wording on my part. What I ment was that I have used one of the temperature compensated oscillators (the DS32kHz, not the DS3232 RTC) with other RTCs and as an input to the PIC timers, and they worked well. I'll have a glance at you code and the Datasheet to see if I can spot anything.

With other DSXXXX RTCs, I have seen the need to set some of the registers to appropriate setting before things work correctly. So that is one place to start.

I'll get back if I see anything.
