RTC Module
The RAK12002 WisBlock RTC Module is a real-time-clock with a supercapacitor backup, allowing a node to maintain the correct time across reboots and for up to seven days without power. It operates on a crystal oscilator and communicates via the i2c interface. The module can be inserted into slots A, B or C (some users have reported issues with slot D) and is plug and play - no settings are required.
