Octopus Real-time Clock

Octopus Electronic Bricks, you can use them to build electronics projects just as easy as piling bricks. By using Octopus electronic bricks, you may connect Arduino / Freaduino compatible boards easily with various digital, analog and I2C/Uart interfaces. These the breadboard-less firm connection are prepared to extensive modules like poteniometers, sensors, relays, servos ... even buttons, just plug and play.

OCTOPUS Real-time Clock is a clock module which can achieve counting for year, month, day, hour by using the DS1307 clock chip.This chip has lots of merits, low power supply, with 56 bytes of non-volatile RAM clock calendar full BCD code real-time clock chip, the address and data via a two-wire bidirectional serial bus transmission, providing seconds, minutes, hours and other information , automatically adjusting the number of days in each month. And more surprisingly, the chip also equip with the function of leap year compensation. Chip has a built-in power-sense circuit, brownout detection, and battery switching function.
