The Factory | Supercapacitor Powered RTC & A Soldering Jig

Everyone loves a Real-Time Clock, but did you know they're usually unsafe for the classroom? The lithium cell (that runs the clock in standby) is super harmful if swallowed, and you can't transport them by air! This week we've designed an RTC module backed up by a Supercapacitor. We also received our new soldering jig for OLED module assembly, and begin an i2c-bus-extender project.
