Building a Real Time Clock (RTC) kit for Arduino Tutorial

In this video I build a Real Time Clock kit from Adafruit that uses the DS1307 IC. I upload a small sketch that displays the current date and time in the serial monitor program.

"Thank You", thank you very much. Is it possible to get a copy of your notes? Let me know...

Thank you very much for your video. I do have a couple of questions. Why is the Arduino Due written in the line after "Wire1. begin"? Also why do you as many other "non" programmers not use line numbers. This makes it a lot easier to make sure that what we are reading is the next line. Last question, wouldn't it be a good idea to understand the program(sketch) before you try to teach your followers which might not be as good as you are. (referring to the 2 lines under the void setup() line (If you have used line numbers then i could have refereed to them).
Please continue your good work.

Can you remove the RTC from the arduino, and have it continue to work?

I am curious.

I’d have been inclined to melt the chassis ground of the battery holder to the center contact by coming at it through the top, getting the battery holder hot in the area, and melting the solder to reflow and make the clip sit down onto the PCB.

I didn’t see you do this.

Am I wrong in my thinking here, have I missed this very thing in the video, or is this something you’d do differently? (Or is there an option 4 I’m missing?)
