Hey Mate,

Awesome “How to” very detailed and explained very well.

May I suggest a couple of additions. Since the release of Arduino 1.0, the Wire library has been updated, Wire.send() is now Wire.write() and Wire.receive() is now Wire.read(). when using Arduino 1.0

Also I noticed now using Arduino 1.0 that the Wire.write(0); gives an error as “0″ is ambiguous, my suggestion is to replace this with Wire.write((byte)0);

Thanks mate and thanks again for providing such a great “How To”.

Lee

Great site! – Just assembled some ‘Dots today, and it worked first try with your code (found it with google) – you even show how to write to the chip – Thanks!!

A suggestion: The return for the zero of each hand could be a little slower (.25 second or less) to prevent damages the counter.

Hi,
Nice project.

How to do your project below using only analog multimeter displays ?

Thanks for posting this project. I just got a ChronoDot, but the sample code didn’t show writing to the Dot, just reading the time. (I’m also looking forward to adding an LCD display to my project, so I’m sure that this sketch and we page will be even more useful to me in the future.
