Thanks for your reply.
I should have pointed out that the Pi 5 I'm setting up is running on an astrophotography ISO called AstroArch, which is running on Arch Linux.
Now the GitHUB page for this ISO had instructions for adding a DS3231 RTC, but I suspect the instructions were relative to a Pi 4, which they did not make note of. So I've been on an Easter Egg Hunt trying to find out how to get this DS3231 module to work on the Pi 5. I should also note that I'm not really Linux savvy, so the terminal stuff can really throw me for a loop sometimes.![:-)]( "Smile")
This is an 8 gig Pi 5.
The AstroArch config file is located at /home/astronaut/.astroarch/configs/. You want me to post the entire config.txt file here? I can do that, it's a bit long, but it's below. I did type dmesg, but got a really long list, and I have no idea what I'd be looking for there.![:D]( "Very Happy")
