DS3231 Precision RTC Module

The TechBox DS3231 Precision Real Time Clock Module is an extremely accurate I2C-Integrated RTC/TCXO/Crystal. This Real Time Clock (RTC) is the most precise time keeping you can get in a small and low power package. This breakout board is breadboard-friendly and accepts a CR2032 coin cell battery. With the battery in place, the RTC will keep time accurately for years without ever being connected to power! It is one of the best ways to get started with learning how to interact with Arduino peripherals.
