Next up is to get a real time clock module and fit it to Andy's Pi (A prebuilt Stellarmate includes one) so there are no date/time issues to contend with at star parties. I believe for the common one you have to solder the header pins to the board to use it so that will be a job for me.
I just installed a RTC a DS3231 in my Pi 3B. But putting one in a Pi4 is problematic because the 4s require active cooling and access to the Pi’s GPIO 5 volt and ground pins while the RTC also wants similar access plus SDA and STC pins. So. RTC is not an easy fit - particularly if your Pi4 is in a case. And finding an easy way to adjust the Pi’s clock has so far eluded me.
