Accessing AT24C32 Memory

Hello.

The clock module that I have has also a 32K memory that should be possible to access.

Since 4 pins are already used for the clock and power, then probably 32K and SQW pins should be connected as  to Netduino for the memory access. Could someone help me with the wiring please?

Thanks!

Do you have a link to the data sheet for the module?

"Memory chips: AT24C32 (storage capacity 32K)"

here is a datasheet

I have found a similar device and it has a description of the wiring for Arduino:

since all but 32K and SQW connectors are occupied and for another device matching SQ connector is not used but DS is used for connecting to a Digital, it is probably a good shot to try a 32K connected to a Digital Netduino input. What do you think?

I'm wondering if the two devices are just connected to the same I2C bus.

From the clock chip data sheet  it looks like the clock chip is set up with address 0x68 (0b1101000) and the memory chip is going to be in the range 0x50-0x57.

I would try firstly reading from the clock chip periodically to see if the seconds count increments at a regular frequency.

Once that is complete I'd try cycling through the memory chip range (0x50-0x57) and write to an address and then read the data back.

I'd do all this with the four pins connected that you have identified and also do this at low speed first.

Hi Mr. Nevyn,

i am now working with same shield. 
The Eeprom is really on 0x50 (A0-A2 are also with GND connectd).

But i am able to read data only, writing is not working. The WP (write protect pin) is to GND connected.

Have you any idea about sollution ?

Thanks for answer
