=== RTC ===
A DS1307 RTC IC is utilized for the real-time clock. The Teensy 3.2 internal RTC is avoided due to past difficulties/problems. The DS1307 is powered by 5V (no 3.3V variety exists). A 32.768kHz 12.5pF time-keeping crystal X1 is used for the RTC, and a keystone 12mm coin cell holder provides backup power for the RTC. A 100 nF decoupling cap is provided.
