Tiny Tuesdays! Real-Time Clock TinyShield

Welcome to Tiny Tuesdays! This is where we release a new product every Tuesday, and for this Tiny Tuesday event we are releasing the TinyDuino Real-Time Clock (RTC) TinyShield. This lets your project keep accurate time even through the TinyDuino being reprogrammed or power losses. It is based around the Maxim DS1339 RTC and supports counting in seconds, minutes, hours, days, date, month and year with leap-year compensation (valid up to 2100).
