Currently to get time/date i'm using DS3231 module with the RTClib library, i want to use the Atmel 24C32 chip on the module to store some small values (temperature etc).

Can i use the current library AND an external EEPROM library (which one?) OR i need to change my RTC library in order to use EEPROM feature?

    why not use the EEPROM of your MCU? – Juraj Jun 21 '19 at 8:35
  • @Juraj because built in EEPROM have a limited number that can be write, i think it's 100,000 times. – ElectronSurf Jun 21 '19 at 9:34
  • every EEPROM has 'limited' count of writes. you have an Arduino Uno with removable ATmega328? – Juraj Jun 21 '19 at 10:48
  • @Juraj yes but 24C32 have write cycle of 1 million times instead of 100,000 times of ATmega328. – ElectronSurf Jun 21 '19 at 11:47

Can i use the current library AND an external EEPROM library (which one?)

Yes. Devices on an I2C bus are separate devices and use their own separate libraries.

  • is this a proper library to use? – ElectronSurf Jun 21 '19 at 10:14

    It's the first hit on Google so I guess so. I don't use Arduino and have my own chipKIT DTWI based library so I don't know. – Majenko♦ Jun 21 '19 at 12:28
  • just in case anyone stumble upon this question; i tested this library and it's working. – ElectronSurf Jun 21 '19 at 20:25
