Pisugar 3 RTC Model and Configuration #74

Open gianmarco-mameli opened 2 years ago

gianmarco-mameli commented 2 years ago

Hi, i've recently buyed a Pisugar 3, for using it with a Raspberry PI Zero W and the Pwnagotchi image. I need to use the hardware RTC onboard, but unfortunately there's no way to make it work. Before buiyng the Pisugar, the Raspberry was equipped with a hardware rtc from Adafruit and it worked like a charm. I uninstalled it before installing the Pisugar, and started with a fresh os image. With the i2cdetect -y 1 command I correctly see the 0x68 address, but I don't find any overlay or config to make it work. I've also tried this guide whit no luck https://learn.adafruit.com/adding-a-real-time-clock-to-raspberry-pi/set-rtc-time

Anyone has some info or solution, or knows the precise model of the RTC on board of Pisugar 3?

Thanks

I have the same issue and the creators are unresponsive over their email.

UPDATE: I got the answer from the PiSugar team over email:

Hi, Get it, you want to use hwclock with RTC. We will release a new firmware to slove this problem and give a guidance for this. It won’t take a long time, we will inform you after we finish the guidance Sorry for waiting PiSugar team

So in order to use on board RTC we will have to wait a bit longer.

@gianmarco-mameli I got a new update from the team behind pisugar3. You can now use on board RTC. Guide on how to do so is here: https://github.com/PiSugar/PiSugar/wiki/PiSugar-3-Series#rtc-on-board
