FEATURES in new 2016 version

Super capacitors are new power source, compared to batteries need different charging and power usage.
In previous version I have used 10F 2.7V supercap and step-up converter, it can suck scap voltage up to 0.3V
this solution effectively using energy but but unfortunately consume much more energy than standby RTC.

I have now about 7 days standby life on 1,5F supercapacitor

- optional DS3231 or RX8130CE rtc
- atmega timer2 async soft RTC
- 2x smd display 2 lines !!
- 1,5F 5V supercapacitor
- easy charging
- no balancer,
