I presume that the "5:30-6:30 pm" is MOUNTAIN DAYLIGHT TIME (i.e. "Denver") time.

Ah we also wish there was a Qwiic Connector on the new Pi 5! Hopefully we can make this happen in the future!

We will! The chemical makeup of the battery is different from any other type of battery we've carried in the past so we want to make sure we…

Is sparkfun also getting the little RTC batteries with the cord attached for the RPI5?

A couple of "conspicuous by their absence": First, our friends over at Adafruit have a LOT of items that have…

I finally had some time late yesterday to watch a couple of the videos on YouTube that reviewed the "pre-release" samples of the RPi 5 that…

OK, found an "implication of an answer" -- over on Adafruit's "New Products" list is [Raspberry Pi 5 RTC…
