Hi @paulskpt,

What additional board URL did you put in? I had similar problems until I changed the URL to this:

https://m5stack.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/resource/arduino/package_m5stack_index.json

@flypeek Thank you! Never thought I should look in the 'Lessons' section.

PROBLEM SOLVED

At startup :
if flag 'power_lost' is True:
the external DS3231 is set with pre-determined datetime (adjust by hand)
next the built-in RTC is started with the datetime from the DS3231

if the flag 'power_lost is False:
the built-in RTC is started with the datetime from the DS3231

During the main loop displaying the datetime from the built-in RTC.

I put a short video in the images folder inside the dropbox folder (see the link in my post above).

@ajb2k3 ahh, thank you!

@felmue thank you very much. I go to try that. In the mean time I discovered that the function cardkb_getstring covers more or less what I wanted to achieve.
