A question about the RTC on a SP11 build.
Hello! So I just started printing my SP11 clock a few hours ago, and I've been trying to source the electronics and hardware for it.
I live in Greece and I can't find the yellow RTC you show on the documentation, but I found this one:
and according to the website where I found this pinout "The DS3231 module is available in two different types on the market. There is actually no difference between the two types in terms of functionality and operation, and only the appearance and pin assignments are different." So I guess it's going to work if I connect the first four pins to the CNC Shield v4 and do edits #4 and #5 like this (pretty much swap 5V with SCL):
What do you think about my plan? Is it going to work?

That's a great idea. I'll just try to bend the posts on the RTC module by 90 degrees so it will fit inside of the base. If that fails I'll just solder 4 wires from the other side of the module to the 4 contacts I highlighted in light blue here. This should still work and I'll be able to skip edits #4 and #5 altogether. Then I'll just stick the module somewhere on the shield with double sided tape.
