04/11/2023, 6:16 PMI'm very fearful of bricking my board by soldering the resistance to the board. The blog post mention the resistance is needed to prevent a clock drift.
I was thinking of just run it with the battery pcb and setup a NTP to clock syncing. My understanding would be that the drift would only happen during reboot.
Am i right?

04/11/2023, 6:26 PMIf you do not plan to solder this resistor in, you also won't need the battery kit, really - there's no point in counting the time when the board is not powered if this counting is off (the pace is wrong)
