Need your Raspberry Pi to remember the correct time even after it's been switched off? The RTC module DS3231 3.3V/ 5V with Battery for Raspberry Pi is available on Tech Depot India for Rs 213, and it's built to do exactly that.
What is the RTC module DS3231?
Let's break the name down, because it tells you most of what you need to know. This is a DS3231 real-time clock (RTC) module, wired to work at either 3.3V or 5V, and it comes with its own battery so it can keep time even when your Raspberry Pi is powered down. In plain terms, it's a small add-on board that gives your Pi a memory for the date and time, instead of leaving it to guess or wait for an internet connection every time it boots.
You'll normally connect it to your Pi's header pins, and from there it just sits quietly, ticking away in the background. If you want the finer technical details before you buy, they're all laid out on the product page.
