First prototype worked well (pic above)

only as a clock but you can get/set time from the serial port without issue

had a couple of issues, pinouts for the RTC, would be helpfull if the arduino site said they were ANALOGUE pins 4 and 5 for the two wire protocol. 

currrent code uploaded, hours only show from 1-23, need to make that work over the whole 60 LEDS but its looking good
