Accurate RTC Shield with Kapton Stencil
Accurate RTC Shield with Kapton Stencil
For the past couple of weeks I have been working with the DS3231 Maxim. This chip is a I2C based RTC with an integrated temperature compensated oscillator and crystal.This means despite changing temperature conditions, it will maintain a very accurate track of time. If you’re interested in the first rev of the PCB, let me know. I have a few available. They are functional, however, the prototyping area came bad.I have a set of new ones with a proper prototyping area, reset button, and power LED in process.

How to use this simulator:

  1. Press the power button for the desired connections. For example, for USB-only, press the power button near the USB connector.
  2. Enter a voltage for the enabled supplies.
  3. Use “Reset” to start over.

The voltage at the other pins will be calculated.

Note: This simulator does not take into account current loading.

Examples

  1. Enter 12.0 volts for the Barrel Jack. Watch what happens to Vin, 5V and 3.3V.
  2. Enter 5.0 volts for the Barrel Jack. Watch what happens to Vin, 5V and 3.3V.

NOTE: The voltage simulator should be considered Alpha quality. Please provide feedback, suggestions, or questions as comments.
