The project uses typical PCF8583 application. Because on the PIC-01 Development Board there is
already an I2C device (an I2C EEPROM memory with the address set to A0A1A2=000), the A0 pin About

}

For further development, it would be sensible to include set_time() and set_date() functions
and using interrupts.
