Learn everything about the DS3231-SN Real Time Clock | Use without Arduino Library

The DS3231-SN is a very useful and precise Real Time Clock (RTC).
It comes in handy for all your projects in need of accurate timekeeping.

Learn how to use the DS3231 on your Arduino (or any other microcontroller) without the use of extra RTC libraries! This way you can customize as you like and save precious memory on your microcontroller to do other tasks!
A visual representation of the registers with LED's makes it easy to understand how the IC works and how to use it properly.
We look at how to use Bitwise OR operation, Two’s compliment, and much more.
I hope you enjoy the video!
