Product overview
The Whadda RTC DS3231 module is a real-time clock that enables accurate timekeeping with
minimum fuss. It uses a DS3231 IC, an extremely accurate RTC chip with a built-in 32 kHz crystal
oscillator. The chip also features a basic temperature sensor and alarm clock capability.
The RTC module uses a standard I²C interface and can easily be interfaced with various
developments boards (such as an Arduino® compatible board).
