+This will set the I2C address to 0x68, the DS1307 Address.\\
+The second line sets the register index to 8, the start of RAM.\\
+The third line, Wire.endTransmission(); , transmits the sequence.\\
+Subsequent reads from the chip will start at 8. For example, to read 4 bytes from the chip:\\
+     Wire.requestFrom(DS1307_ADDRESS, 4);
+The above line will put the 4 bytes into the receive buffer. To fetch the bytes:
+     while(Wire.available())    // slave may send less than requested
+     {
+      byte c = Wire.receive(); // receive a byte as character
+      Serial.print(c, HEX);         // print the character
+      Serial.print(" ");
