RTC for the Raspberry Pi Pico?

Post by ThomasRy »

Hello,

Could anyone recommend a RTC for the Raspberry Pi Pico? Will the adafruit_pcf8523 work? Just want to make sure I can use existing libraries etc.
Many thanks!
Thomas

This one is a good choice. Has sufficient resources also. https://www.waveshare.com/pico-rtc-ds3231.htm

Thanks a lot! But would adafruit_pcf8523 work too? The one you quote is a bit pricey for my Pico application. Many thanks!

Any I2C based RTC should work:
