By offloading timekeeping to an RTC module and using this library, your Arduino can maintain accurate time even if it loses power, resets, or is busy executing heavy code. Why Use the VirtuabotixRTC Library? virtuabotixrtc.h arduino library
The library is not installed correctly. Fix: Reinstall via Library Manager or check that you have #include <virtuabotixRTC.h> at the top. // Print the time in a formatted way Serial
