* Arduino Nano DS3231 clock with LED Matrix 4x(8x8) SPI
*
* Arduino Nano 5V logic - 32kB prog. space
* Tools:Board: Arduino Nano; Processor: ATmega328P (Old Bootloader)!!
* LED Matrix 4x(8x8) SPI with connector on the right side (last module)

*
* CONNECTIONS:
* >> LCD 4x64 -> Arduino Nano: (using Hardware SPI):
* 5V -> 5V pin
* GND -> GND pin
* CLK_PIN -> 13 // or SCK
* DATA_PIN -> 11 // or MOSI
* CS_PIN -> 10 // or SS
*
* >> DS3231 RTC -> Arduino Nano:
* SDA (DAT) -> A4
* SCL (CLK) -> A5
* Inspired by : 1) Arduino Clock by AnthoTRONICS Last edit: March 22,2019
* but without MD_parola because of its large footprint! New getdate function.
* 2) Simplest UNO Digital Clock Ever by plouc68000:
* https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/plouc68000/simplest-uno-digital-clock-ever-4613aa?ref=user&ref_id=680368&offset=1
* 3) LEDDotMatrixClock.ino by Leonardo Sposina, but here without "Max72xxPanel.h"
* https://github.com/leonardosposina/arduino-led-dot-matrix-clock/blob/master/LEDDotMatrixClock/LEDDotMatrixClock.ino
* Not using Max72xxPanel.h, but small size digits are stll used. Small footprint code here.
* Replace in library MD_MAX72XX/src/MD_MAX72xx_font.cpp :
* 1) #define USE_NEW_FONT 1
* 2) fonts #148 ... 158 must be replaced with 3x5 fonts:
