Component Introduction:
EASY plug DS3231 Clock Module
The DS3231 is a low-cost, extremely accurate I2C real-time clock (RTC)
with an integrated temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and
crystal.
A real-time clock (RTC) is a computer clock (most often in the form of an
integrated circuit) that keeps track of the current time.
It integrated with a battery input, which can maintain accurate timekeeping
when power off. The integrated crystal resonator ensures the accuracy of
clock. So this RTC solution should be worth to try.
