Ks0130 keyestudio EASY plug DS3231 Clock Module
Introduction
The DS3231 is a low-cost, extremely accurate I2C real-time clock (RTC) with an integrated temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and crystal.
A real-time clock (RTC) is a computer clock (most often in the form of an integrated circuit) that keeps track of the current time.
It integrated with a battery input, which can maintain accurate timekeeping when power off. The integrated crystal resonator ensures the accuracy of clock. So this RTC solution should be worth to try.
Note: this module should be used together with EASY plug control board.
