A Feather board without ambition is a Feather board without FeatherWings! This is the DS3231 Precision RTC FeatherWing: it adds an extremely accurate I2C-integrated Real Time Clock (RTC) with a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) to any Feather main board.
Board power input for the RTC FeatherWing. Adafruit Learn states the bottom-row 3.3V pin is used to power the RTC and take load off the coin cell battery.
Ground reference for the RTC FeatherWing. Adafruit Learn states the bottom-row GND pin is used with 3.3V to power the RTC.
I2C clock pin for talking to the DS3231 RTC; Adafruit Learn states it has a 10K pullup resistor to 3.3V.
I2C data pin for talking to the DS3231 RTC; Adafruit Learn states it has a 10K pullup resistor to 3.3V.
Optional square-wave or interrupt output. Adafruit Learn states SQW is open-drain and needs a pullup to read from a microcontroller pin.
