DISPLAY DATE AND TIME
Arduino Tutorial
I have only been using Arduino for about 2 months now. I bought a Keyestudio starter kit and I couldn't get Project 31: DS1302 Real Time Clock Module to work so I tried using a RTC DS3231. I wanted to be able to do a basic thing like print the time and date on a 1602 LCD i2C screen. I tried many sites and different code but I couldn't get it to work. After about 5 weeks I came across a YouTube video and visited the links provided. The code worked so I decided to publish this as my second project.
Libraries
I used the wire.h and LiquidCrystal.h libraries that come installed with the Arduino IDE. On Arduino IDE I used the New Liquid Crystal 1.5.1 by Fransisco Malpartida: https://bitbucket.org/fmalpartida/new-liquidcrystal/downloads/. On the Arduino Web Editor I used the Liquid Crystal Library from YWrobot. This can be found via a search in the Library Manager.
Once completed you can then build and actual clock.

Next Steps
This whole process made me realize that I need to start paying more attention to the Arduino code and start learning it. I want to be able to manipulate the code more.
