DS3231 AT24C32 I2C Precision Real-Time Clock (RTC) Module with Memory for Accurate Timekeeping and Data Storage in Arduino and DIY Electronics Projects

Description:
The DS3231 AT24C32 I2C Module is a high-precision real-time clock (RTC) module with an integrated memory chip (AT24C32) for data storage. It provides accurate timekeeping with an integrated temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO), making it highly reliable for applications that require precise time tracking. The I2C interface simplifies communication with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other embedded systems. This module is perfect for projects that need accurate time, such as clocks, data loggers, alarms, and other time-based automation systems.
