I’ve recently gotten into .NET Gadgeteer and was wondering if you guys could help me. I’m looking for recommendations for a Real Time Clock Module. It needs to have a battery so it won’t lose the time when it’s switched off
And also any battery modules you know of. I’ve seen the one that uses 4 AA batteries, but I was wondering if there was any based on Lithium batteries? Also, are there any known problems with such modules?
I’ve got a Fez Spider, which I think has one in? But would I be right in thinking that if the power source (battery/USB) runs out the time will be lost? I was thinking more along the lines of a module that has a watch battery on, like motherboards used to have, so that the clock would be powered by that, so if the main power ran out, the clock would still keep going. Does that make sense?
