DS1307 Real time clock
DS1307 Real time clock can tell time to Arduino. You can turn off Arduino as a small button battery is attached to the DS1307. Once you set the right time on the DS1307, it can keep ticking up to 7 years.
The components you need:
- Realtime clock DS1307 x 1
- Clock Crystal 32.768 kHz
- Battery Holder CR20xx for a button cell
- Button cell (Lithium Battery) 3V Ø 20 x 2,5 mm
- Arduino
- Arduino Software v1.0 (the example code doesn’t work if it’s before v1.0)
