Ultimate Guide to the DS1302 RTC Module (Arduino)diy
Hey hobbyist! 👋 Welcome again!
In this video, we take a deep dive into the DS1302 Real-Time Clock (RTC) module and learn how to build and program our own reliable timekeeping solution using an Arduino. We'll walk through everything from wiring and coding to testing the current draw of the module.
What You'll Learn:
How to interface the DS1302 RTC module with an Arduino, including a detailed wiring setup and coding tutorial.
Testing the module's current draw to understand its power consumption and efficiency.
Why building your own RTC is often a better choice than buying a pre-made clock module. We’ll discuss the benefits of a DIY setup, including greater control over power usage and the longevity of your battery compared to pre-built options.
"HEY" hobbyist I almost forgot!
The current draw...,the module draws about 1.2ma at the first then later draw ~lower at stable mode
Just a tip I forgot to share in the video!
Make sure to watch till the end to see our current measurement tests and learn valuable tips on maintaining accurate time in your elect #
