It is quite confusing if we should describe the Raspberry Pi Pico as having a Real Time Clock or not. I explain why and how to add an external Real Time Clock, the DS3231 in this video.
I add a DS3231 module to a Badger2040 to build an analogue clock and temperature display.
The examples from this video can be found on GitHub at:

This example was based on the work of Victor Costin and his SimpleDS3231 project:

This project makes use of the Badger2040 that I have talked about in a previous video,    • Taking a look at the Badger2040 from PIMOR...  . Along with SNTP which was also a subject or a former video    • SNTP on Raspberry PI Pico-W with LWIP and ...  .
