PSA for anyone using this RTC (DS3231), there is a badly designed charging circuit on this particular module (ZS-042 and probably others). You must either use a rechargeable LIR2032 battery or disable the charging circuit. You can do so by cutting the trace or removing the diode or resistor. Otherwise, using a non-rechargeable CR2032 could cause it to swell and explode. Although, even with a rechargeable LIR2032, the charging voltage is too high at ~4.7 V relative to the spec of 4.2 V, which may also cause issues. The recommenced option is to remove the diode with a pair tweezers or by desoldering, and use a regular CR2032 battery. There is a thread about this issue on the Arduino forums.
This is an excellent video, all the info you need to get started in under 4 minutes - thank you 👍 I get fed up with CZcamsrs that pad a 5 minute video to 35 minutes - droning on with "blah, blah, blah" and naff video animations (naming no names).
most creators try to hit 10min mark to "get the algorithm going", god bless those who earn money any other way lol, they give info like this, few minutes.
To anyone that was in my shoes where the serial moniter only prints nonsense, I oversaw the baud rate. If it's making a ton of ????, match your serial moniters baud rate to 115200 (as seen in the video).
I'm having an issue with the programming part. I downloaded both libraries and it still doesn't work but I suspect, based of what I'm reading, that the library is isn't completely identifying certain variables/parts, such as: DS3231 rtc(SDA, SCL); Serial.print(rtc.getDOWStr()); Serial.print(rtc.getDateStr()); Serial.println(rtc.getTimeStr());
Do *NOT* USE CR2032. Most modules are intended to be used with rechargeable LR2032 batteries. When DS3231 is connected to the Arduino, CR2032 is being charged (even though it's not rechargeable). It also won't last too long.
Thanks for the Excellent easy to understand video. I am great at building the circuit but horrible at programming. It’s like I’m terrified of programming
Thank you very much. I’ve got a problem this device after a day the time becomes of by around 6 seconds from the real time how can I fix that. Thank you
Sir can you please add a pushbutton so when we will push it we can see the day and temperature and then we push it second time we can see the time and date again. Sir please reply
First of all, thanks for the reaction. But I tried it in multiple ways, but the fact that it uses rtc.getTimeStr(); seems the confuse the system. Is this a matter of notation? I have: int i = String.toInt(rtc.getTimeStr());
people forget to say: when 5V is in use and non rechargeable battery, you MUST break the charging path - otherwise your 3V battery may explode ;-) if you connect to 3.3V it will not happen as there is a diode in the circuit. same no issue if you use 5V and rechargeable battery ;-) one more thing as bonus: this module has extra EEPROM that can be used ;-)
Great video, i got a 'warning deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*' -wwrite-strings' but can you clarify this is nothing to worry about? Regards
everything works fine, but when I disconnect the arduino from the PC, wait a few minutes, connect it again, Time starts from the moment where I cut off the power. Where is the fault hardware or software?
Thanks a lot for this helpful video. There is a note: It works with me when I changed the serial as follow: // Serial.begin(115200); Serial.begin(9600);
I have bought a couple of the DS3231 modules. Trying to build a temp logger. All of them get the temperature wrong by 18 deg C even when using different libraries. And it seems they lose a lot of time as well. I guess the time loss and temp is correlated. Any idea why this might be?

@Mad Max yo chill out and Atef Ben Attia, you can probably use an if statement like this. You would need to save the hour part to a variable as well. This variable as well as the code would need to be in a loop so it constantly refreshes. if ((hour == 2) && (minute == 0)) { *insert what you want it to do here* }

hooked up lcd and got this message rtc was not declared n this scope. (print get timestr)...any ideas? I used your tutorial on wiring lcd. started new sketch, included the two libraries and your code....
You should be able to use it without an arduino nano, because as far as I know, with any given arduino circuit board; the only difference is how fast it can process info, as well as its storage capacity.
Good day! I already tried your given codes and I encountered some problems. Like, when its automatically printing on the serial monitor, after the first line being printed, the following lines showing undefined character. Why is that, and how can I solve it?
How to make the RTC counting a delay? I'll explain. I have 2 large stepper motors. I need to turn them one revolution per minute. Is it possible to do it with RTC? My delay varies and is from a minute up to 24 hours. :) The delay function is not accurate for long periods of time...

Very good instructional video. There are so many bad ones out there that I was getting discouraged. Thanks.

Ds3231 in incredible for time keeping projects😍
Way too underated
Thank you very much. I’ve got a problem this device after a day the time becomes of by around 6 seconds from the real time how can I fix that.
Thank you
you can add temp and alarm to this prject better, ds3231 has temp function but not too good like dht22 but its ok for little project
Where is the circuit diagram for the LCD display?
Sir can you please add a pushbutton so when we will push it we can see the day and temperature and then we push it second time we can see the time and date again.
Sir please reply
How can I read out, for example the time, as an integer, so that I can make a alarm clock with it?
You can read the String and then covert it to integer using the string.toInt() function.
First of all, thanks for the reaction. But I tried it in multiple ways, but the fact that it uses rtc.getTimeStr(); seems the confuse the system. Is this a matter of notation?
I have: int i = String.toInt(rtc.getTimeStr());

Nice project easy and simple to understand
Why don't you show the day of the week on the display?
how did you connect the LCD?
fantastic video
tanks mate. Good tutorial.
How can I set the source file for the library. In my project I want to get the time and days and manipulate it to count down to a certain date.
Is it possible to do without the MEGA
Great, I use the UNO because it's cheaper and smaller.
Yes, it's pins A4 and A5 on the Uno
How exactly would you call the hour/min/seconds separately? I tried the 'now' approach, but for some reason this library doesn't seem to support this.
there is a examples called serial hard that shows you how to get hour, min, and seconds separately
If I do not want to use the module(for time being), so can I remove that battery ?? and if I do not remove it,how long the ic /device will last??
