The realtime clock should be connected to EuroPi's I2C header pins, located on the
rear of the module, between the Raspberry Pi Pico and the power header.

_EuroPi's I2C header (circled)_

Depending on the size and depth of your synthesizer's case there are a few ways you
can mount the clock. For deep cases, the easiest solution is to simply use a standoff
to connect the clock to the Raspberry Pi Pico:

For shallower cases, you can attach header pins and jumper wires to a pice of perfboard
or plastic, and mount the clock vertically.
