for my Arduino I bought a DS1302 (=VMA301) from Velleman.

I downloaded from your site the files, including the library of DS1302RTC. h .

When i compile DS1302_RAM_DEMO I obtained following error:

C:\Program Files \ Arduino \ libraries \ DS1302/DS1302RTC. h:
97:26: error: ’ tmElements_t ’ has not been declared static uint8_t read (tmElements_t & tm);
^

C:\Program Files \ Arduino \ libraries \ DS1302/DS1302RTC. h:
98:27: error: ’ tmElements_t ’ has not been declared static uint8_t write (tmElements_t & tm);
^

exit status 1 error when you compile board Arduino Mega ADK

can you give me the correct version of the library DS1302RTC. h and DS1302RTC. ccp or tell me what to do to get it compilable?

Greetings

Dear Velleman,

I’ve got the same issue as mentioned above. There’s no time.h library included with Arduino 1.8.5, and i think this is the issue. The DS1302RTC.h was propperly imported. This is the error message when running the first example file included with the DS1302RTC library:

Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows 10), Board: “Arduino Nano, ATmega328P”

This report would have more information with
“Show verbose output during compilation”
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

I’m not a very experienced programmer and need the libraries to make the RTC work. So currently I can’t get the RTC to work. Could you please help us?
