Raspberry Pi RTC Module With Battery

Description

This RTC module use DS3231 as its Real-Time Clock chip which has build-in crystal oscillator. This RTC module communicates with Raspberry Pi through I2C bus.DS3231 is a low power consumer RTC chip and whose back up supply is a 0.2uF Super-Capacitor,which can keep work for a week at least after power down

DT Overlays Used

With DT enabled, this becomes a line in config.txt:

   dtoverlay=i2c-rtc ds3231

It can adds support for a number of I2C Real Time Clock devices

Learn

  • Type in [sudo raspi-config] set up raspberry pi and prepare to enable i2c interface


File:RTC tech02.png

  • select Advanced Options


File:RTC tech03.png

  • select I2c


File:RTC tech04.png

  • select yes enable I2C


File:RTC tech05.png

  • type in [sudo vim.tiny /etc/modules] to open file modules


File:RTC tech06.png

  • add i2c-dev device like picture below


File:RTC tech07.png

  • install i2c-tools ,type in [sudo apt-get install i2c-tools]


File:RTC tech08.png

  • type in [sudo reboot] wait the raspberry pi restart ,Then type in [sudo i2cdetect –y 1], if RTC works ,it should be like picture below


File:RTC tech09.png

  • Type in [sudo su –] change root user,then Type in [modprobe i2c-dev] to load I2C device


File:RTC tech10.png

  • Type in [echo "ds1307 0x68" > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/new_device] add RTC to system

  • Then you can use “hwclock” command to use this RTC module

If you want to know more about hwclock command you can type in “man hwclock” to get details A brief description like following: Command [hwclock –r] to get RTC time Command [hwclock -w]set the system time to RTC time Like following
