In this tutorial we gonna use DS1302 Real Time Clock module with Arduino board. This module can be set up via an Arduino code and then you can use it as you want, for example to show time/date a screen or to log some sensor values by time or setting sleep and wake modes, similar modules are used in computers, phones, TVs…. it always has a battery cell that can last long enough so even if the device is not powered the time keeps updating.
Here are some projects I did with this module:
Or some similar modules:
For this we gonna need:
- RTC DS1302 module.
- Arduino board, here I’m using Uno.
- LCD i2c screen, optionnal if you want to visualize date/time on your screen. If you don’t know how to use one check here.
- Some jump wires.
- And 1k Resistor if you have the same problem as I had (check the video).
Libraries
Here are the libraries you’ll need for this, download them here:
Codes
Here I gathered all codes I used, you can download them here: RTC codes I’ve used “.ino”, or check below and copy them.
Wiring 1: Setup the module from the IDE and show the time on the Serial monitor
Code 1 : Setting the time and date of the module and showing it on the serial monitor
This code will permit you to set the DS1302 and then display date and time on the serial monitor.
Please read carefully the code below, the line
Permits you to set the module on the given values (numbers typed there), you have to set it up to your current date/time and then comment it
And reupload the code again to the Arduino with removed or commented (//) setDS1302Time function, so when you restart your Arduino the program doesn’t execute the function again.
Code 1:
Wiring 2: Add LCD i2c Screen and solving the grounding problem if you encounter it
Code 2: Showing the Date/Time on a LCD i2c screen
This code uses the LCD i²c screen, optional of course, be careful again with “SetDS1302Time” function again (read above).

Amazing! Can I use that in my Arduino project?
Hello sir, Thankyou for the information.
Can you please explain the 7 in the brackets myRTC.setDS1302Time(15, 22, 21, 7, 14, 1, 2018);
It means “Day of the week” (Mon, Tue….) You can associate that number with its day name and display it too

Hello, this is a library issue, you have a library with the same name but when you call a function it can’t be found, so you either adapt the code to you existing library or remove it and use the library I provided
Hi. I followed your solution by adding a 1k resistor in series with DAT and Arduino’s input pin, but the problem persistrs. What can I do now? It’s Waveshare’s DS1302 RTC board. It prints crappy time and after 2-3 seconds it stops printing in Serial monitor.
Hello, try without the resistor, or a lower value one… make sure that the pins are soldred well, also check the other components, sometimes a badly soldred smd can cause those problems.
I tried all of these, I even bought another DS1302 RTC board to check if the previous one had a problem, but it has the same behaviour. I tried on another Arduino, I tried changing the jumper wires but nothing. It prints weird numbers, sometimes characters, and 2-4 seconds later it stops printing on my Serial Monitor. I even had almost the same numbers as you in your video, but the 1k (and other values) resistor didn’t solve the problem.
My wiring is like this:
Vcc — 5v
GND — GND
I/O (MISO) — Pin 8
SCLK — Pin 7
CE (CS) — Pin 9
Initialization (on the code): virtuabotixRTC myRTC(7,8,9);
I really can’t determine the problem here, do you have other modules? things wired with the Arduino UNO?
I just realized that even a simple Serial.println(“test”) doesn’t work either! It turns out that my usb cable is crappy. Problem solved!
What is the grounding problem?
why did you include the lcd pins if it is using i2c already? im confused
Yes it’s an i²c, but it’s just an adapter soldered at the pins of a standard LCD, and the function used to declare the LCD needs those pins numbers.
Fantastic, Thank you.
what do i need to do if i only want to show the time of the day on a 4 digit 7segment display?
Hello, I am unable to download any archive from Google Drive?? Why is it impssible?? I can not realise the project without those archive. Please help.
Thx
How can i use in my scale weighing indicator?
