So, found my first issue, haha...
I'm trying to upload the sketch, and I am getting an error. I'm not sure what I'm missing here. I have the Time.h file, so I'm not sure what it means by "no such directory". Am I missing a file? It's bound to be something idiotically simple. This is my first go with any kind of coding, so I feel like I'm playing with fire a bit. Here's what it looks like:  I saved it as a separate file and renamed it "B" in case I screwed something up. Which I probably did.

Ok, I had apparently installed the libraries incorrectly. That's fixed. Now, I'm getting a new set of errors, and I don't know what the fix is:
SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB:84: error: 'byte second' redeclared as different kind of symbol /Users/seankelly/Documents/Arduino/libraries/Time/Time.h:93: error: previous declaration of 'int second(time_t)' SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB:84: error: 'byte month' redeclared as different kind of symbol /Users/seankelly/Documents/Arduino/libraries/Time/Time.h:99: error: previous declaration of 'int month(time_t)' SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB:84: error: 'byte year' redeclared as different kind of symbol /Users/seankelly/Documents/Arduino/libraries/Time/Time.h:101: error: previous declaration of 'int year(time_t)' SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB:268: error: expected unqualified-id before '/' token SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB:268: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '/' token SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB.cpp: In function 'void loop()': SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB:345: error: cannot resolve overloaded function 'second' based on conversion to type 'byte*' SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB:349: error: 'DS1307_HR' was not declared in this scope SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB:353: error: 'DS1307_MIN' was not declared in this scope SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB:357: error: 'DS1307_SEC' was not declared in this scope SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB:361: error: 'DS1307_MTH' was not declared in this scope SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB:365: error: 'DS1307_DATE' was not declared in this scope SmartyCat_6_channel_codeB:369: error: 'DS1307_YR' was not declared in this scope Anyone? I'm a hopeless noob, here. I have never done any coding, and I just want this thing to work, haha...

I looks to me like you're trying to compile and load a "library" file. Library files can be identified by the ".h" at the end of the file name. Make sure to place that file and any others with the same ".h" into the Arduino 23 "Library" folder. The actual Program "Sketch" will have ".cpp" at the end of the file name. When you open and then "verify/compile" the sketch, the libraries that are called out in that sketch will be accessed and integrated into the actual binary code that is transferred to the chip.
Here's some code that "Sink" wrote. It makes setting the time a breeze. Just copy and paste this into the Arduino23 IDE and name it the "Time_set" sketch. Load this one first to set the time and then load the "Smartycat" sketch( be sure to adjust the start/stop/fade duration/max led intensity values to your liking before loading) Code:
/*
* Name: timeset.pde
* Author: User "sink" at plantedtank.net forums
* URL: http://bitbucket.org/akl/tank-control
*
* This code sets the time on a DS1307 RTC chip attached to an Arduino
* microcontroller board. The time is set to the system time when the
* sketch was compiled (using preprocessor macros), so make sure that:
*
* 1. Your system (PC) time is accurate.
* 2. You recompile the sketch and then upload immediately.
*
* The time is skewed forward some seconds to accomodate for compilation and
* upload time. If you find the time is consistently off by the same amount,
* you can modify the adjustment constant below.
*
* This code requires the following libraries: Wire, Time, DS1307RTC
*
* The latest version of this code can always be found at above url.

This may be the issue: I have a Mac. I've seen in the forums that the names for some things are different (I really have no clue about this stuff). Would this account for the errors?

I did - Blink functions perfectly. No errors
 The code you posted from Sink runs and installs with no issues, but still getting errors with the SmartyCat sketch.

That's weird. Try this copy. There are only two Libraries included, so if it doesn't compile properly, maybe the library you have is wrong or corrupted in some way. Code:

Ok, I think you have the wrong version of the DS1307 RTC library version installed. Try the ones attached. You should be able to place both of these folders (unzipped of course) into your library folder and the Arduino IDE should be able to pick the correct one.

Well now I have a bit of a wiring issue - I think. The emitters were working fine until I installed my splash guard. After that, some weird stuff was going on. I was unplugging the jumpers from the inputs, and the lead for channel one touched the heat sink - and the emitters for that channel turned on. Sure enough, I checked all of them and all four channels were doing the same thing. I'm not really sure what to think, so I left it. I don't want to hijack this thread any more than I already have so I'll leave it at that until I can get it repaired. It may be next week before I get things up again, as I have no idea where to begin.

ok starting to wire up my build and have a few questions. firstly i have 3 meanwell power supplies that i got cheap a while ago and was wondering if i could use one to power the chip. i have a s-320-24 meanwell. i puts out 24 volts at 12.5 amps. next i see that there are 2 power inputs on the driver. do i need to supply power to one or both. my ftdi to usb adaptor is on the way so im sure i will have questions on programming when i get that going. i will be running 3 lines of 6 cree xmls at around 2 amps ea. i am a little confused about the pwm part of the driver. wont i be able to dim it based on programming the driver and if not what do i need to wire to where to get this thing to auto dim up and down. thanks for all the help, i will post pics of the build on here as well as par numbers once the unit is up and running.
