Hi all,
I have a cheap Arduino DUE clone and I found that it does not have the 32khz crystal installed on the board. I would like to make use of the on-board RTC rather than use a separate module.
I read somewhere that you can find the required crystal on a discarded cell phone. I think I found one but I cannot tell for sure. I am hoping one of you can confirm my found treasure is what I think it is. Picture attached below.
The part is the right size for the pad on my DUE. It is labeled A234N in the picture.
Also, what should I consider when looking for capacitors? The DUE schematic shows 22pF. Is that value critical or can I whack in a couple caps that are the right size for the pads from the same donor board? That pair just north of the battery in the picture look like the right size.
It seems my meter can only read down to nF so testing them might be a problem.
Any help appreciated. I'm just a nub trying to figure this stuff out
