RTC Control v.01 by John Vaughters Credit to: Maurice Ribble - http://www.glacialwanderer.com/hobbyrobotics for RTC DS1307 code
With this code you can set the date/time, retreive the date/time and use the extra memory of an RTC DS1307 chip. The program also sets all the extra memory space to 0xff. Serial Communication method with the Arduino that utilizes a leading CHAR for each command described below. Commands: T(00-59)(00-59)(00-23)(1-7)(01-31)(01-12)(00-99) - T(sec)(min)(hour)(dayOfWeek)(dayOfMonth)(month)(year) - T Sets the date of the RTC DS1307 Chip. Example to set the time for 02-Feb-09 @ 19:57:11 for the 3 day of the week, use this command - T1157193020209 Q(1-2) - (Q1) Memory initialization (Q2) RTC - Memory Dump
