DS1307 RTC Module with BAT for Raspberry Pi
Description
The RTC module is specifically designed for Raspberry Pi. It communicated with Raspberry Pi through I2C bus. There is a Maxim DS1307 and CR1220 button cell on the board to keep the real time for a long time after the Raspberry Pi has it’s power off. In order to offering a convenient way to debug, there are five pin has been setup which are 5v, 3.3v, Rxd,Txd on board.
Feature
- Use Maxim DS1307 chip
- Extends CR1220 button cell backup
- Can be operated with shell command
- Include a serial port connector
- Programmable square-wave output signal
- Consumes Less than 500nA in Battery-Backup Mode
- Automatic Power-Fail Detect and Switch Circuitry
- Programmable Square-Wave Output Signal
Parameters:
- Accuracy ±20ppm from 0°C to +40°C
- Work voltage 5V
- Battery Backup Input for Continuous Time keeping
- Real-Time Clock Counts Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Day, Date, Month, and Year with Leap Year Compensation Valid Up to 2100
- Work temperature 0°C to +70°C
- Port:
- Raspberry Pi B module 2X13 connection port
- Raspberry Pi A+/B+/2 module 2X13 connection port
- Raspberry Pi 3, Mode B, 1GB RAM 2x20 connection port
- 2*5pin 2.54mm connector
Packages
- 1 x RTC Module
- 1x CR1220 Battery

How to Connect:
- 1.Software Requirement:Base Raspbian Operating System
- 2. Connection: Just insert the module into Raspberry Pi
- 3. USB-to-TTL cable wire connect to RTC
- 4. Finally
Note: RTC 5v pin connect to USB-to-TTL Red wire(5v) RTC GND pin connect to USB-to-TTL black wire(GND) RTC TX pin connect to USB-to-TTL Green wire(TX) RTC RX pin connect to USB-to-TTL white wire(RX)
How to configure in terminal
Here we assume that you have already burned the Raspbian Image into TF card and connect to your PC and logged in. Open a terminal and modify /boot/config.txt file using what you favorate editor such as vim.tiny or nano, add parameters as following picture:
You can read /boot/overlay/README and find this info to add support for ds1307 I2C Real Time Clock device.
Name: i2c-rtc Info: Adds support for a number of I2C Real Time Clock devices Load: dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,<param>=<val> Params: ds1307 Select the DS1307 device
please ensure that /boot/config.txt file include those three paramaters:
device_tree=bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds1307 dtparam=i2c_arm=on
After that, please make sure you have disabled the "fake hwclock" which interferes with the 'real' hwclock
sudo apt-get -y remove fake-hwclock sudo update-rc.d -f fake-hwclock remove
Now with the fake-hw clock off, you can start the original 'hardware clock' script.
Edit the script file /lib/udev/hwclock-set with nano or vim editor and comment out these three lines:
if [ -e /run/systemd/system ] ; then exit 0 fi
Finally result like this:
save and reboot your RPi.
How to Check it
After reboot and log in, open a terminal and typing this command to check if RTC module is functional.
dmesg |grep rtc
if you can see this picture means that your RTC module is working properly.
and then you can adjust your system clock as following command:
Note: 051014302016.20 is equal to mmDDHHMMYYYY.ss, more information please using ‘man date’ command. Last step, set the Hardware Clock to the current System Time.
ok, finished. Have fun.
FAQ
- Question: Why does my RTC module running a wrong time when i reboot my Pi ?
- Answer: Please do remember to disable the "fake hwclock" which interferes with the 'real' hwclock as following commands:
