## Description

The RTC Logger Shield includes the following features:

- RV-3028-C7 ultra low power, super accurate RTC that communicates via I2C
- Micro SD Card slot
- 2x STEMMA/QT connectors with 2 sets of IO - Can be used for I2C devices or UART or anything else you feel like
    - I2C1 on the usual I2C pins for the Tiny board you are using
    - I2C2 on 2 alternative IO pins for the Tiny board you are using
- JST PH connector for easy battery connection
- RTC Interrupt pin is connected to an RTCIO pin on the Tiny board, so you can wake your board from deep sleep with the Alarm
- RTC Interrupt pin can be disconnected to it’s IO by cutting the trace on a solder jumper on the back of the board
- RTC Clock output is disconnected to it’s IO pin, but via a solder jumper on the back of the shield, so you can solder bridge it if you want to use it, or leave it disconnected to are up the IO for other uses

### What libraries do I need?

- The RTC Logger shield works with the standard ESP32 SD card library.
- For the RV-3028-C7 RTC, I recommend the `<a href="https://github.com/MacroYau/RV-3028-C7-Arduino-Library">RV-3028-C7 Arduino library by Macro Yau</a>`
