It features an ARM architecture, I2C interface, and a 3V battery, ensuring seamless integration and reliable timekeeping for your projects. Compatible with various Raspberry Pi models, this add-on board is essential for anyone looking to enhance their tech capabilities. ## Description SHIM RTC is a battery backed up realtime clock and calendar add on board for Raspberry Pi that does not get in the way of other add on boards providing easy, plug and play integration and development for designs and/or applications requiring time stamps. Board communicates via I2C interface, supported by a back-up battery to ensure on-going timekeeping operation in power-down situation. Battery is not included. Review: Not a PiFace SHIM RTC - The product I received is not the PiFace SHIM RTC and does nott look like the photo in this ad. The true Piface SHIM RTC is a very thin PC board designed to be sandwiched beween the raspberry pi and another hat. The true PiFace Shim relies on a clever off-setting of some of the connector holes to obtain a good electrical connection to the Pi's GPIO pins. The RTC I received has a 6-pin socket designed to plug on top of the Pi (which will not work for my needs) and uses a diffrent battery and RTC chip than the true PiFace SHIM RTC. Review: Does the job, stupid silkscreening priorities - Cute board. Works well enough. Has enough space on the back for FCC rules Part 15, sections 1 and 2 as well as an inexplicably large PiFace RTC logo, an eagle, some sort of G logo, a funky looking backward comma, a circle-check mark logo, a no trash logo, Element14 in two places, notes that it's designed in Cadsoft Eagle, and a confoundingly large CE logo (JUST ON THE BACK!) - but not pin numbers, polarity indications, hints to positioning, etc. Of course there's no documentation in the package, or the listing here, but the logos are cool. Genius. ## Features - Price For: EachOrder Unit: Each 1 Core Architecture:: ARM Core Sub-Architecture:: ARM11 Features:: Real Time Clock, I2C Interface, 3V Battery, Fits within Raspberry Pi Footprint For Use With:: Compatible with Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, Raspberry Pi B+/A+/B/A Kit Contents:: Add-on Real Time Clock Board SVHC:: To Be Advised Silicon Core Number:: BCM2835 Silicon Family Name:: BCM2xxx - Silicon Manufacturer:: Broadcom ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B011OLLHLE | | Brand | PiFace | | CPU Manufacturer | ARM | | Connectivity Technology | I2C | | Customer Reviews | 1.3 out of 5 stars 2 Reviews | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | PIFACE | | Memory Storage Capacity | 32 GB | | Mfr Part Number | SHIM RTC | | Model Name | Shim RTC | | Model Number | SHIM RTC-PIFACE_IT | | Processor Brand | ARM | | Processor Count | 1 | | Wireless Communication Standard | Bluetooth | | Wireless Compability | Bluetooth | ## Images ![PIFACE Shim RTC ADD-ON Board, Real TIME Clock, Raspberry PI - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MtavyKi7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Not a PiFace SHIM RTC *by E***V on July 28, 2020* The product I received is not the PiFace SHIM RTC and does nott look like the photo in this ad.
