Clock and Shutdown button

Post by meclark »

I'm looking at adding a RTC and shutdown button to a raspberry pi 3 B, https://howchoo.com/g/mwnlytk3zmm/how-t ... spberry-pi
"The basics is you short out IO pins 5 and 6 (GPIO3 and GND)." GPIO 3 corresponds to the SLC used for the RTC

Would shorting out the SLC pin damage the clock?

Stick with our guides and we do have one specifically for the PiRTC using the PCF8523.

https://learn.adafruit.com/adding-a-rea ... ng-the-rtc

Code: Select all

 Wiring is simple:

Connect VCC on the breakout board to the 5.0V pin of the Pi (if using DS1307)
Connect VCC on the breakout board to the 3.3V pin of the Pi (if using PCF8523 or DS3231)
Connect GND on the breakout board to the GND pin of the Pi
Connect SDA on the breakout board to the SDA pin of the Pi
Connect SCL on the breakout board to the SCL pin of the Pi
