Hardware revision request: Mounting holes & supercap

[adamgarbo]

A quick note to suggest if this board ever sees a hardware revision or is replaced by the RV-3032, mounting holes should definitely be included.

Having worked with this RTC since it was released, I can report it can be very awkward to use, as it can't easily be connected/mounted to other Qwiic boards using standoffs. While it can be soldered onto a protoboard, it generally needs to be soldered at an angle or upside down to ensure the coin cell holder doesn't cause a short.

IMO, the design of the RV-1805, including the use of a supercap instead of a coin-cell, is preferable.

Cheers,
Adam

An update a couple of years later that I still believe the lack of mounting holes are a major weakness of this board. It would pair super well with the Datalogger IoT 9DoF, if only could be mounted directly!
