I am using Thonny, though it's become a bit quirky with the last update. At any rate. just run this once and then after it is unplugged and replugged with another source it'll have it's own correct time?

It should, if the battery / supercap / power supply is working in your DS3231.

scruss' code above sets the DS3231 to system time, not the other way around.

Yes, that's what it does. Note that the Pico's machine.RTC and the DS3231 have different ideas of what day of week = 0 should be. Also, the RTCs' data structure and utime.localtime()'s return structure are different.

Bingo!! A few tweaks and we seem to be in business!

Thanks to all for your patience and help!

Now for a new project....
