I decided to take the plunge and solder the socketed DS1302 directly to the SX52 protoboard. All is working now with no serial LCD attached and no TRIS_A or SEROUT command needed. This one blew me away. Was it perhaps a problem of using long wires going to a solderless breadboard (actually tested it on 2 different breadboards). Certainly this appears to be a transmission line issue now that all the wires are short and on one PCB. Many thanks to all including Bean, Sparks-R-Fun, PJ Allen and especially JonnyMac and JDOhio. ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=183734#m183881 Need assistance?
