What a great kit. This is really a funny conversation piece. The reactions from others is priceless! The preset light show and well commented code and great directions make this kit something special.

Great electronic joke.

For "One Million Ohms" Microcontroller Project Kit

It's got pride of place on my work bench, it has fooled all my none electronic minded friends. I enjoyed building it, and felt quite fiendish.

Good board, well assembled

For MCP79411/MCP79412 Real-Time Clock/Calendar Breakout Board

The board was well assembled and shipped promptly. Works well.

Great module, great library, easy to use!

For MCP79411/MCP79412 Real-Time Clock/Calendar Breakout Board

I finally found a project to build around this module. It was a snap getting the module working and making use of Jack's library and examples. I had the module running in about 10 minutes, no joke. I hope you get these back in stock so more folks can enjoy them. Also, board quality is top notch and assembly is truly outstanding (wished my boards looked this nice). If you want an RTC module, just buy this right now, ok? You won't regret it. Review Image

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad the RTC worked well for you. Interesting looking project, I wouldn't mind hearing more about it. I had a large order that wiped out inventory; more boards are on the way but most are already committed to working off the backlog, so I've ordered a second batch as well.

Great little RTC!

For MCP79411/MCP79412 Real-Time Clock/Calendar Breakout Board

I was able to get this breakout board wired into my Arduino project in just a few minutes, and I had time synchronization in 2 lines of code. Great little package and very easy to use.

I've used the RTC's SRAM to record events and the EEPROM to store project settings, and the API has been very easy to use. I have not experimented with the advanced calibration features of the RTC yet, but I am delighted to have sub-second synchronized time for my project.

I'll post a link here in the blog post covering this project.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the RTC, and I'm looking forward to hearing more about your project.
