The PiicoDev® Real-Time Clock (RTC) accurately tracks the passage of time to within 1ppm - an amazing 30 seconds per year! Based on a low-power and very accurate RV-3028, this RTC tracks year, month, day, hours, minutes, and seconds. Follow the Getting Started Guide to set the time and create a simple alarm clock - or schedule actions to perform in the distant future. The PiicoDev RTC features a supercapacitor for backup power, capable of running the clock for up to a week without external power. When power is connected, the supercap is recharged. From dead-flat, it takes about three minutes to charge the supercap enough to sustain shorter power outages (a full charge takes about an hour). Additional pins are broken out to provide access to the programmable clock output (CLK) pin, and an Event Input Interrupt (EVI) pin which can capture the timestamp of an external event.

  • A great guide to get you started with Raspberry Pi, Pico, or Micro:bit
  • Backup power provided by a Supercapacitor - no batteries required!
  • Tracks year, month, day, weekday, hour, minutes, seconds
  • Schedule events or alarms
  • Automatically switches between main power and backup power
  • High accuracy clock - within 30 seconds per year
  • PiicoDev Connector, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V Only)

Technical Specifications

  • Supply voltage: 1.1 - 5.5V (Must use 3.3V if used with other PiicoDev devices)
  • 7-bit I2C Address: 0x52

PiicoDev Overview

PiicoDev is a ecosystem designed for rapid prototyping and maker education. The range includes:

Here are some of the features we have baked into PiicoDev:

  • Unified MicroPython libraries. The same MicroPython code examples will work on all supported platforms.
  • Simple-and-expandable connections. Modules can be connected using a 4-pin connector and daisy-chained to expand projects.
  • Breakout pins. Every module has a breakout section for optional advanced uses.
  • Consistent size. We have taken care to ensure modules are consistent sizes so that they easy for 3D printing cases, stacking and experimenting with.
  • Creative freedom. Simmer all of these features together and you end up with lots of creative freedom while still being a hands-on electronics experience.

PiicoDev electronics modules are designed and manufactured in Newcastle. They are priced for makers and education alike (affordable!). Get in touch with us if you have any questions.
