MakeCode Programming
Step 1
Click "Advanced" in the MakeCode drawer to see more choices.
We need to add a package for programming, . Click "Extensions" in the bottom of the drawer and search with "PlanetX" in the dialogue box to download it.
Note: If you met a tip indicating that the codebase will be deleted due to incompatibility, you may continue as the tips say or build a new project in the menu.
Step 2

Result
The seconds read by the RTC Real-time module displays on the OLED screen.
Python Programming
Step 1
Download the package and unzip it: PlanetX_MicroPython
Go to Python editor
We need to add ds1370.py for programming. Click "Load/Save" and then click "Show Files (1)" to see more choices, click "Add file" to add ds1370.py from the unzipped package of PlanetX_MicroPython.
Step 2
Reference
from microbit import *
from ds1307 import *
ds1307 = DS1307()
ds1307.Second(second=0)
while True:
display.scroll(ds1307.Second())
Result
The seconds read by the RTC Real-time module displays on the micro:bit.
