Questions about the Pocket Watch B Module:

1. After programming (setting) the time of the Pocket Watch B Module
using the BS2 IC, can I remove it from its interface on the BS 2 and
will it retain its programmed time and continue counting time?


2. My plan for use of the Pocket Watch B is for its alarm every 6:00
AM in the morning, does the Pocket Watch returns its set Alarm to
none, once it already executed the 6:00 AM alarm for today, what I
mean is do I have to reprogram its alarm again so that it will again
alarm tomorrow at 6:00 AM?

3. Can I use an external Battery Supply for it so that even I already
removed ot from the BS2, it will be stil running but its alarm pin
still connected to the BS2? Do I have to use common grounds? Does
anyone can help me of a battery backup for the clock so once I
removed the supply of BS2, the clock is still running?

4. Here are the details of my project:

A. Check the time, if six o'clock AM goto letter B, else stay at A.
B. Check the ground, if ground is WET retrun to A, else goto C.
C. Check the temperature, if warm goto D else goto E.
D. Execute sprinklers for 10 minutes then return to A.
E. Execute sprinklers for 5 minutes then return to A.

Please check if something is wrong in my flowchart.

Thank you very much.
