Hi All,
I want to add a DS1307 to a circuit that already uses 24LCxxx running at 'fast', and it needs to be, so I can't drop to 'slow' permanently.
( The choice of DS1307 is because I've got some, so no need to buy a DS1338. )
Two ideas :
1 - Stick it on the bus and hope it works. Has anybody tried this ?. What does happen ?
2 - Power the Vcc pin of the DS1307 from a PICAXE output, and only powerup when I need to do clock work. Will the 24LCxxx have problems ?
Any suggestions ?
Cheers,
Buzby
