[Masaimara]

Does anybody know how succsess to install DS3231 RTC to old Pi 1 card? Card is old version 2011.12.
I2Cdetect gives blank list. Only UU text on address 0x68/I2C-1.

Hi.

You need to tell us which OS you are running on this old pi ?

but you could try

Code: Select all

 sudo i2cdetect -y 0
 

as older pi's used this command

as stated above, PiB is on I2c channel 0, that should be the only difference.

I have a couple of DS3231's running on Pi A+'s. (A+'s not 3A+'s) I followed this tutorial.

As far as I know a UU displayed in i2c detect is normal for the DS3231's address. Once you have the Kernel driver running, i2cdetect will skip over 0x68 and display UU instead, this means its working!
