How to use a RTC With an Arduino UNO R3 to Create an Accurate Clock (LCD Screen and Nixie Tubes)

Today we're pulling out the breadboard, getting up and running with an RTC module then finishing up by making ourselves a clock that will keep the correct time even when we pull the plug. To achieve this we will be combining three main com...
