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.

Installation
Raspberry Pi
Python
- Install MCP2221 Library by running below command on terminal:
sudo pip3 install PyMCP2221A
- Connect USB-RTC on USB Port of Raspberry Pi/Windows.
- Now clone/download USB-RTC Github Repository by running below command:
git clone https://github.com/sbcshop/USB-RTC.git
- Now enter downloaded folder from home/pi or by rnning below command:
cd USB-RTC
- Now run test.py file by running below command:
sudo python3 test.py
- After running above command, you will get below output.
Windows
Python
- Install MCP2221 Library by running below command on terminal:
pip install PyMCP2221A
- Connect USB-RTC on USB Port of Raspberry Pi/Windows.
- Now clone/download USB-RTC Github Repository of USB RTC:
https://github.com/sbcshop/USB-RTC
- Open the downloaded folder and run test.py file in any python supported ide.
- You will get the below output after running the file.
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") '''
