{"product_id":"rtc-pi","title":"RTC Pi","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"col span5\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Raspberry Pi is a great low cost computer with thousands of different uses but one thing it does not come with is a real-time clock. This means that every time you switch off your Raspberry Pi it forgets what the time is and you have to manually set it again next time you switch your Raspberry Pi on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoldering required! This product comes unassembled and unsoldered.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RTC Pi Zero is a battery backed real-time clock module for the Raspberry Pi Zero. It keeps track of the time while the Raspberry Pi is switched off and allows the Raspberry Pi to retrieve the current date and time from the RTC Pi Plus when it is switched back on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RTC Pi Zero is powered through the host Raspberry Pi using the GPIO port and extended pins on the GPIO connector allow you to stack the RTC Pi Zero along with other expansion boards. The RTC Pi Zero uses the DS1307 RTC real time clock and a CR2032 battery to maintain the date and time when the main system power is not available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most other DS1307 based RTC modules the RTC Pi also includes an I2C logic level converter allowing you to connect other 5V I2C devices to your Raspberry Pi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RTC Pi Zero is very useful for standalone projects where your Raspberry Pi will not have a network connection and therefore no way to retrieve the current date and time from the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting holes are provided so you can securely bolt the RTC Pi Zero to your Raspberry Pi with our mounting kit (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RTC Pi Zero can also be used on Arduino boards when connected via the I2C bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe i2c address for the DS1307 RTC is 0x68.
