SparkFun Real Time Clock Module - RV-8803 (Qwiic)

The SparkFun RV-8803 Real Time Clock Module is a Qwiic-enabled breakout for the RV-8803 RTC, featuring a factory-calibrated temperature-compensated crystal for extremely precise timekeeping. It tracks hundredths of seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, date, month, year, and weekday, with multiple alarm and interrupt settings.

The module connects via a Qwiic connector for solderless I²C hookup, with 0.1" header pins also broken out for breadboard use. Its wide operating temperature range makes it well suited for field and harsh-environment applications.
