For the most part, the build is what you would expect: a 16×8 LED Matrix display driven by a TLC5920 LED driver, with an Arduino that uses a DS1307 RTC (real-time clock) with a coin cell battery ...

Like many early microcomputers, the Commodore VIC-20 did not come with an interna real-time clock built into the system.

The most popular RTC for the Arduino is the DS1307. However, it does have some drawbacks, the most notable of which is that its operating voltage is 5v, which means it cannot be used with 3.3v ...

“Here is the Kraztech Real Time Clock (RTC) Module that uses the Microchip MCP7940. The Kraztech RTC Module is intended for the opensource Arduino platform but can easily be used with any ...
