USB RTC

USB RTC is an open source real time clock device that comprises MCP2221, a USB-to-UART/I2C serial converter, which enables USB connectivity, in the processes that include a USB, UART(Serial), GPIO, and I2C interfaces. It runs on Hi-tech DS3231 RTC chip, an accurate I2C, runs the USB RTC with extremely high efficiency at a low cost. USB RTC for Raspberry Pi has cross platform support which makes it enable to work on different platforms like Windows, MAC, etc.

Features

  • Temperature-compensated crystal oscillator
  • DS3231 advanced processor
  • MCP2221
  • I2C/SMBus supported clock and data lines
  • User-selectable via jumper cable for 3.3V or 5V level output (up to 500 mA)
  • Four GPIO lines that are configurable for GPIO Operations
  • Pins for Serial(UART) Communication
  • Supports full-speed USB (12 Mb/s)
  • 64-byte Transmit
  • 64-byte Receive
  • USB 2.0 Compliant
  • Low-Power Consumption

    • Specifications

  • Accuracy ±2ppm from 0°C to +40°C
  • Accuracy ±3.5ppm from -40°C to +85°C
  • Battery Backup Input for Continuous Timekeeping
  • Operating Temperature Ranges Commercial: 0°C to +70°C Industrial: -40°C to +85°C
  • Low-Power Consumption
  • Real-Time Clock Counts Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Day, Date, Month, and Year with Leap Year Compensation Valid Up to 2100
  • Two Time-of-Day Alarms
  • Programmable Square-Wave Output
  • Fast (400kHz) I2C Interface
  • 3.3V Operation
  • Digital Temp Sensor Output: ±3°C Accuracy
    • Pico 1.14 LCD HAT

    Functions

    • To modify Date & Time, you have to change the last value of each line in the hexadecimal form inside def SetTime(address):

    For Example : 

    #sec min hour week day month year
NowTime = [0x00,0x00,0x18,0x04,0x12,0x08,0x15]  #Edit this line to set RTC Date and Time
    • To read time, you can call "ds3231ReadTime()" Function
    • To read the internal temperature of USB-RTC, uncomment below the line by removing from start and end of the line :
    '''Celsius = getTemp(address)
Fahrenheit = 9.0/5.0 * Celsius + 32
print (Fahrenheit, "*F /", Celsius, "*C") '''
