RTC
I have some zs-042 RTC , it has a DS3231 RTC and what looks like an ATmega32 on it.
https://edwardmallon.wordpress.com/2014/05/21/using-a-cheap-3-ds3231-rtc-at24c32-eeprom-from-ebay/ very good writing. also notes on using the eeprom are linked.
http://misclab.umeoce.maine.edu/boss/Arduino/bensguides/DS3231_Arduino_Clock_Instructions.pdf <- this worked.
used this: https://github.com/JChristensen/DS3232RTC ( worked )
also on board "AT24C32 EEPROM" https://breadboardtronics.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/at24c32-eeprom-and-arduino/ ... a place to store data.

Liquid Crystal Display
Some notes:
Voltage Comparator Based Sensor
Picked up a soil moisture sensor from Deal Extreme ad 2.23 USD$
http://www.dx.com/p/soil-humidity-moisture-detection-sensor-module-blue-black-white-200142
It's based on a lm393 voltage comaparator. Many variation exist, for things like sound and light aswell.
This is an analog to digital sensor NOT a 1 wire sensor, so it soaks up an analog pin.

Arduino Code example:

From analog to digital
So you got a bunch of cheap sensors, but they are all voltage oriented, like lm 939 and tmp36 and lm35, but you want to hook up a pile of them. wouldn't it be great if you could "convert" the voltage changing sensors to 1 wire or I2C ?
By using a buss ( like I2C ) you can attach many sensors to a single pair of arduino digital pins.
You can! Some notes so far below.

Measuring Amps with Arduino
- Reference document: http://www.vwlowen.co.uk/arduino/current/current.htm
- use 0.01 Ohm Shunt resistor
- arduino can measure 0 to 5 v in 4.9 mVa resolution. ( 1024 setps )
- use op amp AD623ANZ to get volts up for arduino measurement.
