Well I the reason I bought this clock is that the Pi will not have internet so it will loose track of the time. We get around it now by manually setting the correct time and then continuing with what needs to be done (still a lot easier than just setting time on the pi imo ) so that won't be an option sadly.

Hello guys, it's been some time I'm no longer doing much with calculators, but I'm still programming quite a lot. Currently I'm building a telescope with some  class mates and I'm writing the software for its control. We use a Pi B+ to manage everything but since it doesn't have its own clock I figured I'd buy an RTC module. The project is almost due though so getting the Adafruit one for the Pi would have taken too long so I bought one at a local store, a DS1302 (http://www.okaphone.com/artikel.asp?id=472987, sorry for the dutch). It's originally for the Arduino I believe, but I followed this guide to use it with my Pi: http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/12310/would-it-be-possible-to-use-the-ds1302-made-for-arduino

It now works in the sense that I can set the time and read from it, but I've encountered a major problem: the clock doesn't seem to "tick" when unplugged from the Pi. It remembers the time it had before disconnecting though, so I don't believe the battery is dead. In the datasheet I found http://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS1302.pdf I found something about a clock halt flag, but I'm not sure if that's it or how to fix it.

Is anyone familiar with this (type of) clock and could help me fix it? It would greatly ease the user experience

I haven't really kept up with the latest ndless news, but iirc if your calc is of hardware revision greater than J (the letter at the end of the code) there is no way to get a 3.9 calc to accept any lower OS as somewhat explained here.

I haven't looked at it yet, but I just read a short piece about Sidonia no Kishi (Knights of Sidonia). It looks pretty cool to me. The manga is still going and the anime just finished it's first season, with a second one in the making.

Here's a video as you asked. See how I suck at it too.

Wats open on your monitor?

It looks like a firefox window with the console thing (F12) open.

On-topic: That looks really nice, especially with such good speed

I can actually tell a story about something like that. My grandpa owns a camcorder (really cheap crap) and I tried to change some settings as the pictures and videos were really awful. So I tried to change the resolution and other properties, which is called "Bildformat" in German.
Now in the main menu there was an option called "Format". I assumed it's the "Bildformat" and clicked on it. And no, it wasn't. SD card empty, photos of a full year lost, without any backups 

Aww that really sucks They really should make those options hard to access to avoid these kind of accidents.

That would be epic indeed. It seems to have something to do with the stream itself e.g. opening a surround stream on a stereo device won't work.
I don't know what could be wrong though. Could you maybe paste your script?
