^ DS1307 Tiny RTC

* http://www.instructables.com/id/Set-up-Real-Time-Clock-RTC-on-Raspberry-Pi/
* http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/98361/how-to-modify-ds1307-rtc-to-use-3-3v-for-raspberry-pi

Check if module has 5V pull-up I2C resistors! If it does (like Tiny RTC has R2 and R3) you will have to remove them.
