This article takes a detailed look at the Micropython machine.RTC class. The main function of this class is designed to be an RTC (Real-Time Clock) inside the microcontroller for storing date and time. It is more convenient when used with ESP8266 or ESP32 chip because NTP can be accessed to read the date and time from the internet and then store the value into the RTC to enable the accuracy and do not require frequent internet access to read the values again. This saves the use of external RTC circuits as well.
